Togo Jean Yves KIOYE is a PhD student in biostatistics at Unité Mixte de recherche sur le Fromage Laboratory of Institut national de recherche pour l’agriculture, l’alimentation et l’environnement (INRAE). He has the opportunity to be supervised by Paul-Marie GROLLEMUND, Jocelyn CHAUVET and Christophe CHASSARD. Jean Yves holds a Master’s degree in Applied Statistics and Decision Analysis from the University of Caen Normandy and is pursuing a PhD in applied mathematics on the study of microbial communities involved in the milk production process.
