My main research interests are the development of robust statistical models for the analysisof recurrent event (relapses) data with a dependent terminal event (death) and cancer epidemiology.I am involved in the development of the package frailtypack implemented in the R software. Ialso collaborate with Professor Simone Mathoulin-Pélissier from the Institut Bergionié, a RegionalComprehensive Cancer Center.EmploymentThe University of Bordeaux Segalen, Bordeaux, France.Bordeaux School of Public HealthStatistician Apr 2009 - Sept 2009Writing the online manual and testing the functions for the ‘frailtypack’ package implemented inthe R software.
