Research interests
Also engineer in the Statistical Forecasting, Monitoring and Verification team in Météo-France, my research interests are at the crossing between computational statistics and environmental sciences :
– Statistical post-processing of ensemble forecasts and their economical value.
– Evaluation of probabilistic and ensemble forecasts.
– Extreme events.
– Applications of ensemble forecasts for decision making.
