Grants and funding

The research activities of the members of my group has been supported, since arriving in Luxembourg, by a number of grants for which I was PI, co-PI, host, or participant. I would like to thank for their support all funding organisations!
Still to be updated and completed. Links to the project pages should be added soon.

Ongoing grants

• - EU ERA-chair project SanDAL.
  2019-2024. Funding: 2.5MiE.
  I prepared this grant application to develop Statistics and Data Science at the University of Luxembourg, rather than to fund my own research. The project is now managed by Yannick Baraud, who was recruited thanks to the grant.
