About

I have recently completed my PhD at the LPSM (Sorbonne Université) under the supervision of Amaury Lambert and Emmanuel Schertzer. The manuscript can be found here. I am part of the SMILE group which gathers probabilists and biologists interested in modeling life evolution. We are hosted at the Collège de France.

My field of interest is mathematical population genetics. I study probabilistic objets arising from various population models, like coalescent processes, branching processes, and random trees, and see how they can be applied to evolutionary biology. More recently, I have also worked on epidemiological models related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
