I am currently a Post-Doc student in the
Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse (France) under the supervision of
Sébastien Gadat.
I work jointly with Salvatore Valitutti's INSERM team
(
INSERM)
on the probabilistic modelisation and statistical study of the interaction between cytotoxic T lymphocytes and tumor cells.
I did my Phd under the supervision of
Sylvie Méléard and
Nicolas Loeuille (Laboratoire Ecologie et Evolution, Paris 6) at the
CMAP (École Polytechnique) .
I defended my PhD "Probabilistic and evolutionary models for prey-predator communities" on September 22th 2015.
During my Phd, I studied the phenotypic co-evolution of prey and of predator populations under the selection pressure
they induce on each other. I also considered the case where the predator population evolves much faster than the prey's.
The mathematical tools are different scaling limit and time changes of multi-types birth and death processes which are
microscopic models for these communities.
I am a member of the Chaire
Modélisation Mathématique et Biodiversité.
