I am a 5th year PhD student at the
Laboratory for Behavioral Neurology and Imaging of Cognition (LabNIC),
University of Geneva.
I'm affiliated with the
Medical Image Processing Lab at the
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
I study the changes in behaviour, the body, and the brain when we experience different emotions.
To this aim, I have developed and implemented a stealth game in Unity in collaboration with the
Human Neuroscience Platform.
Using video games in emotion research increases engagement through active participation in the experiment, is highly immersive,
and yet remains highly controllable for systematic appraisal manipulations.
My work involves studying the relationship between behaviour, physiology, and brain activations with fMRI
to gain a more comprehensive understanding of
the nature of emotions. I completed an MSc in Neural Systems and Computation, a joint programme of the
University of Zurich and
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH Zurich) at the
Institute of Neuroinformatics.
I have had the fortune to have previously been mentored and collaborated with Sophie Cheruel at the
Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) ,
Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), France,
Francois Royer at the
Institute of Neuroscience Paris-Saclay (NeuroPSI),
Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), France,
Christophe Pallier at
NeuroSpin, France,
Jelmer Borst at the
Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen, the Netherlands),
Yuhuang Hu and Richard Hahnloser at
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH Zurich), Switzerland, Nathan Faivre and Olaf Blanke at the
Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience,
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.
I enjoy biking, rowing, climbing, yoga and working out at the gym to stay fit physically and mentally,
lindy hop to add some sparkle in life,
and photography to capture beautiful moments around me.
