Élisabeth Gassiat (née Granier,[1] born 1961) is a French mathematical statistician whose research interests include maximum likelihood estimation for mixture models, latent variables, high-dimensional structured data, the relation between statistics and coding theory, and the statistics of sequence data over finite alphabets. She is a professor at Paris-Sud University.
Education and career[edit]
Gassiat was born in 1961 in Paris. She was a student at the École polytechnique from 1980 to 1983.[2] In 1987 she completed a Ph.D. through Paris-Sud University with the dissertation Blind deconvolution supervised by Didier Dacunha-Castelle.[2]
After serving as an assistant at the Institut national agronomique Paris Grignon from 1987 to 1988, she became an assistant professor at Paris-Sud University from 1988 to 1993.
