About me

Since october 2017, I am a Ph.D student in Applied Probability under the supervision of Benoîte de Saporta and François Dufour. at Institut Montpelliérain Alexander Grothendieck (IMAG), University of Montpellier.

My thesis concerns the study of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and its applications to predictive maintenance.
It deals with the modeling of a fleet of equipment which may fail or be required for missions on a random basis.
Thales wishes to set up an optimized and automated fleet management policy.
This work aims is to develop theoretical and numerical tools for solving such optimization problems.
