Bio
Hi! My name is Anthony Devaux, I’m currently working as a Biostatistician at the George Institute for Global Health in Sydney, AUSTRALIA. Previously, I graduated my PhD in Biostatistics at the University of Bordeaux, FRANCE. My PhD topic was “Dynamic modelling and prediction of health events from multivariate longitudinal data”.
