Co-supervision of Charlotte Jacquemot and Anne-Catherine Bachoud-Lévi.

I am interested in understanding the role of the striatum (sub-cortical structure) in the interaction between language and decision.
To do so, I analyze behavioral data from Huntington Disease patients presenting a striatal atrophy, using advanced model-free and model-based statistical tools.

Biography

After a graduate school of Engineering (Ecole Centrale de Marseille, Paris, France), I obtained a double degree in bioengineering and neurotechnologies (MSc at Imperial College of London, UK). I previously worked as a research engineer at the Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique (Ens, Paris, France) before starting my PhD at the Laboratoire de Neuropsychologie Interventionnelle (Ens, Paris, France).

Teaching

I have taught linear algebra and advanced statistics to master students at the Ecole normale supérieure (Cogmaster, AMS and AS).

I also supervised two bachelor students (Juliette Luiselli & Jade Seguin) for a scientific projects (10 hours)
