Research topics: Stochastic population dynamics (and their simulation), interacting point processes, modeling of biological aging, demographic risks and pension design, forward utilities, numerical probability.

I am the scientific coordinator of the ANR JCJC project MATURE (MAThematical models for UndeRstanding ageing in the wild and its Evolutionary role), 2026-2030. You can contact me if you are interested in this project!

IBMPopSim R package

• Package documentation and examples.

I am the co-author, with D. Giorgi and V. Lemaire (LPSM, Sorbonne-Université) of the R package IBMpopSim, available on the CRAN. The IBMPopSim package aims at simulating the random evolution of a wide range of heterogeneous populations models, called stochastic Individual Based Models (IBMs). Such models have various applications in fields including actuarial sciences, biology, demography, or ecology.
