Eric PARENT

I work as a Professor in applied statistics and probabilistic modeling for environmental engineering. My research group belongs to the French National Institute for Rural Engineering, Water and Forest Management, an academic institution from the Ministry of Agriculture ([Engref](http://www.agroparistech.fr/Ecole-interne-ENGREF,708.html "engref")). The laboratory enrols PhD students and postgraduate engineers trained to work at the intersection between statistics, decision-making theory and environmental engineering. I co-authored three books (in French) , one on [Bayesian statistics for environmental engineering](http://www.lavoisier.fr/notice/fr2743003550.html "http://www.lavoisier.fr/notice/fr2743003550.html"), the second on [theoretical and algorithmic aspects of Bayesian theory ](http://www.springer.com/statistics/statistical+theory+and+methods/book/978-2-287-33906-6 "http://www.springer.com/statistics/statistical+theory+and+methods/book/978-2-287-33906-6")and the third one depicts various cases with [real data from various domains of applications](http://www.springer.com/statistics/book/978-2-287-99666-5 "http://www.springer.com/statistics/book/978-2-287-99666-5"). My recent book in English is a tutorial to implement[Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling for Ecological data](http://www.hbm-for-ecology.org/ "http://www.hbm-for-ecology.org"). My broader interests include “ Bayesian Statistics at work”, especially in case studies from various fields while working with my PhD students, under contract with industrial companies or public institutions. Some of our research interests can be found [here](https://www6.inra.fr/mia-paris/Equipes/MoRSE "MoRSE") . We organize regular bi-annual meetings at Rochebrune with my former[ PhD’s](https://www6.inra.fr/mia-paris/Equipes/MoRSE/Les-anciens-de-MoRSE "Les anciens") and some colleagues.
