As a PhD candidate in cognitive psychology, I have a keen interest in typical and atypical lifespan cognition. Main topics of interest encompass language, executive functioning, and emotion-cognition interactions.My current research focuses on psycholinguistics, and more specifically, on the ways we access meaning and mental images when reading words depending on our own characteristics as readers.On the clinical side, I am interested in evidence-based and ecological rehabilitation of cognitive impairments following cerebral alterations.I truly enjoy articulating different paradigms and techniques from several disciplines, and hope to have opportunities to further investigate these research themes in the near future, using methods from experimental psychology, neuroimaging, but also clinical trials in order to produce clinically-relevant knowledge and tools for professionals.Beyond professional interests, I am very passionate about languages, worldwide cultures, social justice, science (of course) and everything art-related!
