Artemis Toumazi was born in Cyprus in 1991. She received her BSc in Mathematics with a First Class Honours at University of Surrey, UK in 2012 and joined University Claude Bernard, Lyon I, at France in 2012 pursuing her MS in Statistics, Computing and Numerical Techniques (Statistiques, Informatique et Techniques Numeriques - SITN).
She completed her MS Thesis titled “Bayesian statistics comparing with the classical statistics” and then joined the Stem Cell and Brain Institute in a position of Biostatistician in December 2014 until September 2015. During that period she worked on the project titled “Bayesian Analysis of Connectivity in Macaque Cerebral Cortex”.
She is currently participating in the european project InSPiRe (Innovation in Small Populations Research) and working at the Centre de Recherche Cordeliers in Paris. Her work involves developing R packages and experimenting with bayesian models for phase I dose finding clinical trials.
Her research interests include applications of Statistical Research in healthcare, Bayesian Statistics analysis, Residual analysis, Design of experiments, R and SAS programming.
