About me

Research

I'm currently intern at Institut de l'Audition, Paris, exploring the impact of natural and urban soundscapes on bodily and mental states, under the supervision on Luc Arnal, Boris Gourévitch. In previous research, I interned at the Cognitive variability lab at ENS, helping on a study around motivated perceptual inference, and previously at the Institute for Neural Computation, Ruhr-Universität Bochum focusing on Clone-structured-causal-graphs (CSCGs) [1],[2]. Under the supervision of Tristan Stöber, my goal was to provide a better understanding of how CSCGs support causality by validating the cloned Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for building CSCGs against counterfactual causal criteria. This is useful to demonstrate that the model can serve as a computational implementation of the episodic memory theory developed by M. Werning, proposing that episodic memory plays a crucial role in causal reasoning through counterfactuals.

As a bachelor's thesis, I explored how visual information is processed in primary visual cortex (V1) during body movement, under the supervision of Alessandro Sanzeni. Through electrophysiological data analysis, I discovered that V1 contains an invariant representation of visual stimuli that is independent of passive head movements, and obtained evidence suggesting the presence of an abstract, yet high- dimensional representation of information that supports generalization.

I enjoy listening to and experimenting with music, discovering immersive art experiences, and taking pictures here and there. I think I'm happy when I practice sports. :
