Hi! I am a cognitive neuroscientist, focusing on language.
My research focuses on the neurobiology of language, especially language production, and on semantic competencies.
My main goals are:
*Understanding how word meanings and concepts are represented in the brain
*Determining the properties of the cognitive processes allowing us to learn and produce words
*Characterizing lifespan changes on semantic and language processes
I combine approaches from neuroscience, psychology and linguistics, and notably I use neuroimaging methods that provide windows into neural and cognitive functioning (e.g. HD-EEG).
Currently I hold the Junior Professor Chair of Cognitive Neuroscience at Université Côte d'Azur in Nice (France). I am based at the laboratory Bases, Corpus, Langage [BCL website] and collaborate with the transdisciplinary institute NeuroMod for modeling brain and cognitive systems.
My journey before that:
postdoc at University of Oslo (Norway), Department of Special Needs Education and fellow of the Oslo Special Education and Learning Lab (SPeLL) [2021-2022] [ISP website]
postdoc at Aix-Marseille University (France) and fellow of the Institute of Language, Communication and Brain [ILCB website] [2018-2020]
postdoc at University of Geneva (Switzerland) in the neuropsycholinguistics lab [NPL website] [2014-2017].
I received my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from University of Lyon (France)
