About Me#
I am a Swiss PhD student based in Geneva, interested in how the brain represents and processes information. Before coming to neuroscience, I was trained in psychology and philosophy of science in Lausanne. At some point, I decided that before making any theoretical claims, I needed to look more closely at the electric meat itself, so here I am.
My current work mainly focuses on using brain decoding methods to gain insights into how the human brain encodes, stores, and manipulates neural representations of the external world, as well as how these representations become stabilized into generalizable knowledge.
This research is conducted in the Department of Basic Neurosciences at the University of Geneva, between the teams of Nina Kazanina and Sophie Schwartz, and in close collaboration with Théo Desborde.
I have a particular interest in reproducible science, and I actively try to work toward open practices, data sharing, and collaborative research.
Work Experiences#
This research project investigates episodic memory as a temporally structured process, examining how sequences are encoded and how the format of these representations is reshaped (chunked, compressed or abstracted) over time.
Brain decoding and cross-frequency coupling with MEG and iEEG data
Interest in reconstructing hippocampal signal from MEG recordings
Course title: Lab Work: Introduction to EEG analysis (Master level)
Trained students in EEG data acquisition and analysis
Helped develop an EEG hyperscanning experimental set-up and preprocessing pipeline in Python
Administrative tasks
Data acquisition within a social stress induction paradigm
