Achard studied mathematics, statistics, and numerical analysis at Jean Monnet University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1999. She earned a master's degree through research on the statistics of mixture models at Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble 2000, and completed a Ph.D. there in 2003.[3] Her doctoral dissertation, Mesures de dépendance pour la séparation aveugle de sources : application aux mélanges post non linéaires, was directed by Dinh-Tuan Pham and Christian Jutten.[4][3][5]
