Nydia Vurdah, Ph.D.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working with Dr. Daniel Hyde at the Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory. I was previously a temporary lecturer at the Psychology Institute at Paris Cité University. 

My research focuses on the contributions of cognitive factors underlying the development of numerical and mathematical abilities in children and adults. I use a combination of behavioral, developmental, and neuroimaging methods (EEG and more recently, fNIRS).  

I completed my Ph.D. , M.Sc., and B.Sc. in Developmental Psychology at Paris Cité University, under the supervision of Dr. Arnaud Viarouge and Pr. Grégoire Borst at the Laboratory for the Psychology of Child Development and Education (LaPsyDÉ)
