Bio

I am a neuroscientist, interested in consciousness. I obtained a Ph.D. in neuroscience with Stéphanie Clarke & Lucas Spierer in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2012. I then worked with Franz X Vollenweider in Zurich (Switzerland), and Niko A Busch in Berlin (Germany). Since 2014, I am working with Olaf Blanke at the EPFL & école polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Geneva. Currently, we investigate the role of altered (bodily) self-consciousness in aberrant perceptions, notably observed in psychiatric and neurological patients (e.g. Parkinons' Disease). Currently, I am a senior scientist at EPFL (in Blanke Lab)
