RESEARCH SUMMARY

My research investigates cognitive decline in neurological disorders using cognitive testing and neuroimaging. I also use behavioural and computational methods to address the interaction between different cognitive processes, notably working memory and reinforcement learning.

BIOGRAPHY

I was initially trained in molecular biology at the University of Edinburgh before moving to cognitive neuroscience at the University of Geneva at the Brain and Learning lab (Professor Daphne Bavelier). After a short stint in human-computer interaction at the University of Tokyo, I returned to neuroscience for my doctoral studies. Outside of academia I have worked at the Accessibility & Ageing team at IBM Research and at GE Healthcare and have a keen interest in translational work to promote health and well-being.
