Research interests
My research themes are on-line learning and prediction of individual sequences, usually from a game-theoretic viewpoint (that is, I consider learning in repeated zero-sum games).
As a consequence, I'm a member of the PASCAL research network (pattern analysis, statistical modelling and computational learning).
Please check out the agenda of SMILE in Paris (which is a child of the former bi-weekly learning seminar at ENS), this will give you a good view of the kind of maths we do in the Parisian community of learning.
Here is a CV (valid as of February 2008).

Publications
Please check out the dedicated page. (It is on the French part of the web site, but is totally bilingual.)

Teaching
My main teaching duty consists in a series of lectures, at HEC Paris, on basic statistics. A dedicated web page (in French) provides all relevant information.
