CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN
COGNITION & NEUROSCIENCESCRCN

I am a developmental cognitive neuroscientist, interested in how the human brain develops and learns from the environment.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher based at the faculties of Psychology (ULBabyLab, CRCN) and Medicine (Laboratoire de Neuroanatomie et Neuroimagerie Translationnelles). I am exploring fetal brain responses to sensory stimulation, such as light and sound, using an emerging wearable MEG technology based on optically pumped magnetometers (OPM-MEG). In another line of research, I am investigating how brain maturation and visual experience influence the learning skills of infants born at term and those born very prematurely. 

I hold a PhD in Psychology from Lancaster University, UK, where I worked on visual information processing in infancy. My main research interests include exploring early perceptual and social development, understanding how early attentional mechanisms shape learning, and measuring the developing brain and behaviour in naturalistic situations. I have been trained as a Child therapist and I am also interested in neurodevelopmental disorders.
