Position

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Biostatistics and Spatial Processes (BioSP) unit, at INRAE Avignon, under the supervision of Thomas Opitz. This work is funded by the European “Horizon 2020” project FIRE-RES.


Former position

From 2019 to 2022 I was a PhD student at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE), ESTIMR group, under the supervision of Philippe Naveau, Pierre Ailliot and Nicolas Raillard.
I was based at the Institut de Recherche Mathématique de Rennes (IRMAR).


My main research interest is extreme value theory. I am particularly interested in applications related to climate extremes and climate change.
A major goal of my postdoc is to provide new methodological extensions to the so-called Firelihood model, a Bayesian spatiotemporal model for wildfire occurrences and sizes, and to adapt and apply this model to various regional contexts and datasets across Europe, aiming to a better characterization of fire regimes in Europe.
