Researcher in computational neuroscience
Research scientist at IRISA / Inria Rennes
In November 2020, I jointed the IRISA - Inria Rennes as an Inria research scientist (CR), within the Empenn team (CNRS/Inria/Inserm/Rennes University).
I am interested in image and signal processing for neuroscience with a focus in computational anatomy (shape analysis) and multi-modal neurofeedback.
Lately, I am developing methods for structural connectivity to better understand the underlying mechanisms and predict the antidepressant treatment response of depressed patients. I also develop sparse machine learning from EEG-fMRI, to enhance EEG neurofeedback.

Research interests
I am enthusiast about many research topics, among which, I am particularly interested in:
- Neurosciences
- Shape analysis / differential geometry
- Diffeomorphic deformations
- EEG signal processing and neuro-feedback
- Optimisation
- Neuroanatomy / Hippocampus
Past experiences
- 2015-2017: Research associate at the Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC) in University College london (UCL, United Kingdom). I mainly worked on methods for spatio-temporal shape analysis, to predict shape changes before onset of neurodegenerative diseases.
- 2011 - 2015: PhD Student at the Brain and Spine Institut (ICM, Paris), in the ARAMIS team. My thesis focused on the analysis of the hippocampal shape and Incomplete Hippocampal Inversions (IHI), in healthy population.
