Awards

2012: Marie-Jeanne Laurent-Duhamel award for my Ph.D. dissertation, presented by the French Statistical Society (SFdS)
Ph.D. dissertation award (Marie-Jeanne Laurent-Duhamel - French Statistical Society): its aim is to reward the quality of a young, french-speaking statistician's doctoral thesis. In 2012, it distinguished a notable contribution to applied statistical research.
