I am a professor of Statistics at Université Paris Dauphine, Paris, France, and at University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom, specialised in Bayesian statistics, numerical probability applied to simulation methods, and statistical inference with a interest mostly in genetics and astronomy, plus, on the side, a definitely unhealthy but so far not fatal) fascination for mountains and (easy) climbing, an almost-daily run, and a reading list mainly centred at fantasy books… Hence the categories on a blog I maintain since 2008...
