After studying cognitive sciences at the University of Bordeaux (France), I obtained a MSc in Biostatistics from the Bordeaux School of Public Health in 2010 and a PhD in 2014 from Paris-Diderot University. My PhD thesis was on the use of propensity score methods for the analysis of cluster randomised trials. During this period, I developed a growing interest in causal inference methods for the analysis of observational data as well as for trial methodology, which has remained my main research area.  After a post-doc at Queen Mary University on the issues of small samples and non-compliance in cluster randomised trials, I joined the department of Medical Statistics at LSHTM in September 2015, to do methodological work on missing data methods in propensity score analysis, working closely with Prof Elizabeth Williamson and Prof James Carpenter. I am also part of the Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes Network (ICON) where I develop and apply causal inference methods to understand cancer inequalities in the UK.
