About

I did my degree in Biology at the ENS Cachan and University of Paris XI, followed by a Masters in Cognitive Sciences at University of Paris VI.

My PhD, entitled "Rostral Prefrontal Cortex and Control of Attention", was awarded by the University of Paris VI, and was supervised by Prof. Alain Berthoz, from the College de France (Paris) and Prof. Paul Burgess, from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL.

I spent a year as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow funded by the Fyssen Fundation to work with Prof. John Duncan at the MRC-Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, and worked on the role of prefrontal cortex in learning and executing muliple task rules.

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the ICN, working with Sarah-Jayne Blakemore on the development of rostral prefrontal cortex, using both behavioural and functional/structural neuroimaging methods.
