Current Position
I am a PhD student under the supervision of Raphaël Le Bouc.
Project
Motivational impairments such as apathy and impulsivity are common in neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, yet their elementary mechanisms and neural bases remain poorly understood. Hence, the aim of my first project is to enhance our understanding of these symptoms through a multidisciplinary approach combining experimental psychology, computational modelling and neuroimaging.
In parallel, I am working to extend the current descriptive accounts of impulsivity toward explanatory models that capture its mechanistic origins. Specifically, I am testing the hypothesis that value discounting emerges from a noisy Bayesian inference process, in which probabilistic uncertainty about future rewards increases as a function of delay.
Background
My training in neuroscience began with a Bachelor’s degree at the University of Bristol, where I conducted an EEG project on the signatures of the core executive functions. I then pursued the Dual Master’s in Brain and Mind Sciences, spending my first year at UCL where I carried out a cognitive science project on the context-dependent influences in judgements of truth. In the second year, I attended the Master BIP program in Sorbonne, where my dissertation laid the groundwork for my PhD project.
