I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Gorwood/Ramoz and Oppenheim teams at the Institut de Psychiatrie et Neurosciences de Paris (IPNP) . My current research focuses on multimodal neuroimaging and computational modeling to identify structural and functional brain biomarkers associated with anorexia nervosa.
I hold a PhD in Computer Science and Cognitive Neuroscience from the Neuro group at FEMTO-ST (CNRS / Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, France), where I specialized in probabilistic modeling and psychophysics. My doctoral research focused on the latent dynamics of sensory decision-making in post-stroke patients, using data-driven approaches to uncover cognitive and behavioral mechanisms underlying impairments in sensory processing.
I also hold a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Université Toulouse II Jean Jaurès, where I developed expertise in statistical modeling, machine learning, and image processing.
