I’m a PhD candidate at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM) and a doctoral student at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CRI).
My background is multidisciplinary. I have a degree in electrical engineering during which I completed courses and projects in psychology, biophysics and neuroscience. I received my master’s degree in biomedical engineering and neuroscience from BME Paris (PSL, UParis, Arts et Métiers), during which I attended additional classes in cognitive neuroscience. The converging point of my interests is ‘states of consciousness’.
Research work
Research Work :
My PhD project is on the intersection between clinical and cognitive neuroscience of States and Disorders of Consciousness (DoC).
I use multimodal data (fMRI, TMS/EEG and physiological signals) both from clinical groups and controls. The goal of my project is two-faceted. On one hand, is the improvement of prediction models for diagnosis and prognosis. On the other hand, is the search for better understanding of the neural correlates of consciousness.
