Interests

I’m fond of Data Science and an R(cpp) enthusiast. I’m co-organizer of the Grenoble R user group.

Current work

I am a PhD student (2016 - 2019) in predictive human genetics in BCM team, Laboratoire TIMC-IMAG, Grenoble, France. My supervisors are Michael Blum (TIMC-IMAG) and Hugues Aschard (Institut Pasteur). My thesis is funded by the LabEx PERSYVAL-Lab.

I am currently working on a comparison of methods for predicting disease based on massive SNP arrays.

I am also trying to contribute to R

• by submitting my own packages to CRAN (or just GitHub),
• by contributing to other projects when I can,
• by asking and answering questions on Stack Overflow,
• by posting on R-bloggers.

Hometown – Education

I’m from Troyes, France. I naturally like Champagne.

I was in prep school in Dijon.

Then, I graduated from ENSIMAG, an engineer school in Informatics and Applied Mathematics in Grenoble.

I did both my internships in Research,

• the former on goodness-of-fit tests for the Weibull distribution with censored data (through Monte Carlo simulations),
• the latter in predictive human genetics, studying a massive dataset on Celiac disease.

Publications

• Efficient management and analysis of large-scale genome-wide data with two R packages: bigstatsr and bigsnpr. [Preprint]

Conferences

• useR!2017: The R package bigstatsr: Memory- and Computation-Efficient Tools for Big Matrices. [Recording]
• ALT’2016: Goodness-of-fit tests for the Weibull distribution with censored data. [Slides]
