About me

I am a CNRS researcher at the Paris Brain Institute, in the ARAMIS Lab and a fellow of PR[AI]RIE, the PaRis Artificial Intelligence Research InstitutE. I completed my PhD in 2016 at University College London in the Centre for Medical Image Computing under the supervision of Sébastien Ourselin. I received an MSc in Biomedical Engineering from Imperial College London and an Engineering degree from a French Graduate School in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (ENSEA). In 2019, I received the ERCIM Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award.

My research currently focuses on the development of computational imaging tools to improve the understanding and diagnosis of dementia. The main focus of my PhD has been to develop image synthesis algorithms for MR-based attenuation correction in hybrid PET/MR scanners, and for detecting pathological abnormalities in the reconstructed PET data (more details here). During my one-year postdoc  at UCL I decided to tackle the problem of automatic MR-based radiotherapy treatment planning in the pelvic region by developing a new framework combining segmentation and image synthesis (more details here).
