Currently a 4th-year PhD candidate in the Hippomnesis team (supervisor : Marion Noulhiane). My defense is planed for autumn 2021.

I am studying the neural correlates of episodic and autobiograhical memory, with a particular focus on the hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe structures. My goal is to understand how the progressive maturation of these neural correlates during childhood is related to age-dependent increases of memory competence. I am particularly interested on how this maturation drives the progressive emergence of detailed and long-lasting memories, after childhood amnesia.

To this end, I was involved in the acquisition of the MEMODEV database, which comprised 3T MRI data and behavioral data of 50 subjects aged from 4 to 12 years old. I used various MRI methods, ranging from fine-grained anatomical data of the hippocampus for subfields segmentation, to diffusion MRI for describing microstructural properties of white matter tracts involved in episodic memory (e.g., the Fornix, the Uncinate Fasciculus), and resting-state functional MRI to describe hippocampo-cortical connectivity using connectivity gradients analysis techniques (in collaboration with the Donders Institute, Radboud University, Nijmegen), atlas-based, or seed-based connectivity methods.
