About

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the ICoN Center at MiT and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Functional Imaging Laboratory. I work with the Jasanoff and Brown labs on developing biophysical modelling of molecular fMRI. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the FIL, working with Prof. Peter Zeidman, Prof. Karl Friston, and the Memory and Space team led by Prof. Eleanor Maguire. My long-term ambition is to understand how complex biophysical systems can instantiate and maintain functions.

DCM Workgroup

I chair weekly meetings that gather researchers interested in applying Dynamic Causal Modelling to study complex phenomenas that arise in their fields. These meetings aim at providing support to researchers trying to extend DCM to their field and at identifying the need for new method development.

Feel free to reach out if you are interested in attending these meetings!

Teaching

I teach neuroimaging methods during the bi-annual SPM Courses in London.

I am also involved in the Dynamic Causal Modelling workshop within the MSc Advanced Neuroimaging program at UCL.

Training

I did my PhD in the Interactive Digital Human team at the LIRMM, under Dr. Sofiane Ramdani and Prof. Abderrahmane Kheddar. I received my MSc (Diplôme d’Ingénieur) in Control Engineering and Electronics from INSA Toulouse.
