GS
I'm currently finishing my PhD at Toulouse University. My PhD advisor is Prof. Jean-Pierre Florens. During my PhD I also worked for three years in the quantitative research tea of the hedge fund department of Société Générale Asset Management AI, which became Lyxor AM. Français


Research and subjects of interest

I'm mainly interested in  econometrics and statistics as those topics are at the heart of my thesis. In particular, endogeneity and its practcal applications, ill-posed inverse problems and their regularization,  duration models and nonparametric estimation.

Financial applications of those problems are natural fields of interst. Hedge funds are a perpetual source of studies for econometricians: fund replication, new liquidity and performance measures, databases biases, study of the drivers of funds' survival and report.

More generally, in finance, I'm deeply interested in the matehmatical properties of portfolio allocation methods, market microstructure and econophysics.
