Doctor in geostatistics from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, Denis Allard is Research Director at the Biostatistics and Spatial Processes (BioSP) Research Unit of the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment. (INRAE).
His research covers a wide range of topics in geostatistics and spatial statistics for spatiotemporal data modeling and analysis, with applications in geosciences and environmental and climate sciences. His recent contributions concern spatio-temporal geostatistics using the formalism of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (PSDEs), new classes of multivariate space-time cross-covariance functions, and efficient estimation and prediction methods for these. models. He is also interested in methods for compositional data and probability aggregation in geosciences.
More recently, he seeks to develop analysis and simulation methods for extreme climatic events, in connection with the climatic risks induced by climate change.
Denis Allard is part of the steering committee of the XRISQUES meta-program at INRAE, the objective of which is to develop interdisciplinary research around multiple risks in a context of global change.
