Hello, welcome to my website!

I am Charlotte Voinot, a third (and last) year PhD student at Inria in the PreMeDICaL team and at Sanofi R&D (Data & Data Science). I am supervised by Dr Julie Josse (Inria) and Dr Bernard Sebastien (Sanofi R&D).

My research focuses on causal inference for time-to-event (survival) data, with applications to health-related questions.

Feel free to explore the website to learn more about my background, skills, and current projects.
You can also contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss potential collaborations.

Education

I graduated from AgroParisTech (France) and hold a dual master degree in Bioinformatics from Paris-Saclay University.
Before starting my PhD in April 2023, I worked for nearly two years as a biostatistician in several CROs (Contract Research Organizations), supporting pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device projects.

Community

  • SFdS · Young Statisticians Group
    I am treasurer and member of the Young Statisticians Group of the French Statistical Society (SFdS).
    We organized several events during JdS 2024, JdS 2025 and we have organized the 13th and 14th Young Statisticians and Probabilists Day.

  • Research group · Inria (PreMeDICaL / MissCausal)
    Take a moment to explore the work of our team focused on causal inference and missing values at Inria.
    This group is led by Julie Josse (PI of the PreMeDICaL team).
