I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Research in Epidemiology and StatisticS (CRESS, Inserm UMR1153), in the Research team on early life origins of health (EAROH), at Inserm, France.
My research program is focused on studying the longitudinal interrelations between sleep and respiratory health in children in the French ELFE birth cohort.
I am also a scientific researcher member in the National Institute of Public Health, Clinical Epidemiology and Toxicology-Lebanon (INSPECT-LB) (https://inspect-lb.org) with an ongoing scientific collaboration on multiple research projects on various public health topics with different researchers in France and Lebanon.
I have many research skills including the design of different types of epidemiological studies, the development of research protocols, the implementation of studies, the collection and management of data, including the design of the database and the statistical analysis of data. Due to my research work, I have gained a special experience in longitudinal cohort studies and unsupervised statistical modelling methods.
I have several published scientific publications in my domain of expertise in epidemiology (check my PubMed link and my Web site) and I have also participated in several national and international scientific conferences.
