Short bio

I am an engineer, turned neuroscientist, turned data scientist. I work at Biogen, as Konectom’s Head of Data Science, where I lead a team of brilliant Data Scientists who are trying to discover new ways of assessing and monitoring the impact of neurological diseases on patients’ lives.

I am a founding director of SPiKE.AI, where we provide machine learning services to innovating companies. I also worked as an independent consultant for a few French companies here in Paris.

I was a research associate in the Department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy at University College London, Institute of Neurology. I worked on mutations affecting ion channels (mainly potassium channels) and how they might affect synaptic transmission.

Before this post-doc, and during my PhD and first post-doc at Imperial College London, I investigated the basic biophysical constraints faced by axons, and how these constraints have shaped the trade-offs made by neurons. I investigated these trade-offs using stochastic simulations based on biophysical data found in literature. The simulations are carried on using Modigliani, our in-house stochastic simulator.
