Biography
After a Master degree in Animal Health and Epidemiology of Tropical Diseases, I graduated a Ph.D. on the understanding of the Rift Valley fever virus circulation in an unexpected ecosystem (the temperate and mountainous ecosystem of the Madagascar highlands) with a particular emphasis on the modelling of the viral spread under this temperate climate. During this Ph.D., I was based in Madagascar for 1.5 years to collect the useful study data and 1 year in each: ANSES and CIRAD teams, to analyse this data and to share competences.
Research Interest
current studies activities cover: Big Data, Infectious disease modelling, Spatial epidemiology, Spatial analyses... through the use of R software and GIS.
