Cognitive Neuroscientist

About me 👩‍💻

My enduring fascination with neuroscience has shaped my academic and professional path. I hold a Master’s degree in Integrative Biology and Physiology from Sorbonne Université, focusing on computational neuroscience, and a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the same institution.

Currently, I am a Research Assistant at NeuroSpin (CEA/Meta), where I combine neuroscience with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to decode language from neural activity using advanced neuroimaging techniques. Previously, I worked as a Research Engineer at Inria where I developed a novel approach to study the link between social bonding and inter-brain synchrony in middle childhood (see more here).

I am particularly interested in applying AI to understand neuroscientific processes in diverse ways, including developing tools to support individuals facing cognitive challenges and gaining deeper insights into neuropathologies. My goal is to harness the power of AI to advance our understanding of the brain and create innovative solutions for healthcare and cognitive research.
