معرفی
Elena Di Bernardino is a full Professor at Université Côte d'Azur, leading research in spatial statistics, extreme value theory, and environmental risk modeling. She holds the prestigious Junior membership at the Institut Universitaire de France (2025-2030) and serves as Head of the Probability & Statistics team at the J.A. Dieudonné Laboratory. Her work integrates stochastic geometry, copula theory, and machine learning to address multidisciplinary challenges such as climate risk assessment and wildfire prediction.
**Education**: Dual Italian-French national, Elena earned a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Université Lyon 1 (2011) and habilitation (HDR) from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (2017). Her academic journey includes postdoctoral research in Venezuela and Canada, alongside engineering studies at the Polytechnic of Milan.
**Research**: Key focus areas include spatio-temporal dependence modeling, multivariate risk measures, and geometric inference on random fields. She leads major national projects like the ANR COCHAIRS initiative under France's PEPR Risques program, and collaborates internationally via Simons-CRM and MITACS grants.
**Awards**: Recognitions include the Chercheurs Simons-CRM Prize (2019), PEDR grants (2015, 2019, 2023), and continuous funding through EU and French National Research Agency (ANR) programs.
**Leadership**: Currently chairs the Scientific Council of the J.A. Dieudonné Laboratory and oversees strategic initiatives at the 3IA Côte d'Azur Institute. She actively mentors 8 current PhD/postdoc researchers and has supervised over 14 completed doctoral projects.
**Teaching**: Teaches advanced courses in extreme value theory, risk modeling, and environmental statistics at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
