Doctoral advisorJean Bretagnolle

His work focuses on probability and statistics, notably the Dvoretzky–Kiefer–Wolfowitz inequality,[1] the Bousquet inequality, the concentration inequality,[2] and the Efron-Stein inequality. With Lucien Birgé he worked on model selection.[3]

He received his Ph.D. in statistics from Paris-Sud University under Jean Bretagnolle. He has worked at the University of Paris-Sud and at the University of Lyon.

Honors and awards

He was awarded the COPSS Presidents' Award in 1998. He was awarded the Prix Pierre-Simon de Laplace from the French Statistical Society in 2007 alongside Paul Deheuvels.[4] He was a lecturer at the European Congress of Mathematics in 2004 in Stockholm.

gollark: Also, those aren't really *colors*.
gollark: That list is weirdly ordered. Mostly the cobalt and titanium.
gollark: It does look nice. I'm probably just oversensitive to these things.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Also, I find it kind of ironic that a minimalist (well, design-wise) website ends up taking about 5 seconds to load fully, and according to my browser devtools pulls down 6MB of fonts, images, scripts and whatever else. Which is... unfortunately pretty much the standard with the internet now.
