About me

I am currently working as a research engineer in statistics and scientific computing at the University Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambéry (France).

Having a PhD in Cognitive Science, my research focuses on studying emotional attention in normal aging and in Alzheimer’s Disease, using eye-tracking and neuroimaging tools.
