I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Motivation, Brain and Behavior lab, based at the Paris Brain Institute (Paris, France).

​

I received a bachelor’s degree in fundamental mathematics and a master’s degree in cellular neuroscience from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), and a PhD in computational neuroscience from the Ecole normale supérieure (PSL University, Paris, France). My current work in cognitive neuroscience involves computational applications in value-based decision-making. I am interested in the different strategies we use to make decisions, their inter-individual variability, and the neuropathologies emerging from their dysfunction.
