Research
My main research interests focus on memory and its cerebral underpinnings, especially using functional connectivity and resting state networks. I completed my PhD in January 2016 at UR2nF/CRCN, under the supervision of Pr. Philippe Peigneux. During my PhD, I investigated the neurophysiological mechanisms subtending learning and memory consolidation in healthy ageing, using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG).
From November 2016 to October 2019, I conducted a post-doc under the supervision of Dr. Pierre Gagnepain at the U1077 Unit (Neuropsychology and Imaging of Human Memory – NIMH, Caen, France), headed by Pr. Francis Eustache. This research project aimed at identifying the structural and functional neurobiological markers promoting resilience in individuals exposed to the 13th November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks.
In November 2019, I came back at the UR2nF/CRCN, with a FNRS postdoc fellowship. Since October 2023, I am FNRS Research associate and the overarching goal of my research project is to investigate promising non-pharmacological stimulation strategies to shed light on the brain mechanisms supporting the preservation of memory processes in healthy ageing.
