    Overview

    Profile summary

    I am interested in the neural underpinnings of sensory perception (hearing, vision and touch), which I study using a range of neuroimaging techniques, from EEG, MEG and intracranial EEG to structural and functional MRI.

    Biography

    I completed a PhD in cognitive neuroscience in Lyon, France in 2007. I then worked as a research scientist at Columbia University in New York (2007-2009), at the University of Nottingham (2009-2012) and at the MRC Institute of Hearing Research in Nottingham (2012-2016). From 2017 to 2022, I held an Assistant Professorship at the American University of Beirut, in Lebanon.
