I recently (October 2022!) joined the Development Behavior Genetics Lab and the Lifespan Development Lab at the University of Texas in Austin. My goal is to conduct transdisciplinary research on psychopathology and cognition by linking genetic and environmental factors to brain and behavioral measures using the UK Biobank and ABCD Study. 

I completed my Ph.D. at the Cognitive Development and Pathology Team at the Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistiques (LSCP), École Normale Supérieure in Paris. 

My Ph.D. goal was to understand how brain anatomy mediates the effect of genes and the environment on our cognitive abilities. During that time, I also examined brain allometry, sex differences in brain anatomy, and differences in the prevalence of mental health disorders between highly intelligent individuals and the average in the UK Biobank.
