I am a final year PhD student in Computational neuroscience in the Fouragnan lab at the University of Plymouth.

I previously worked in Visual Neuroscience lab in Montreal University (Canada) where I modeled the neural network of cortico-pulvino-cortical interactions.

I began my university training with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have immediately focused my attention on neuroscience, and taken as many options that I could to learn as much as possible about the brain and its functions. I studied many cognitive functions there, with different approaches such as developmental, clinical and even social. I wanted to understand as much as I could about it, from a fundamental point of view, from the function, to the cellular and molecular mechanisms. Therefore during my last year of psychology I began another bachelor in Biology where I learnt more about genetic, biochemistry, molecular and cellular mechanisms.

After these very complementary studies, something important was missing that I felt was essential to understand some brain functions. In my opinion, to figure out a system such as the brain, it is crucial to model it, to study the relations and interactions between the parts of this system.That is why I specialized in system biology. During this master I specialised in big data, computational neuroscience and modeling .
