Neurologist at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital
Honorary Fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France, IUF
Short Vita
I received my MD from the University Iuliu Hatieganu, Cluj Romania in 1990 and did residency in Neurology from 1990 to 1995. I completed my education with a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University Joseph Fourier (Grenoble Alpes) in 1999. I joined the faculty of the Department of Psychology at the same university in 2000 and I do my research activity in the Laboratoire de Psychologie et Neurocognition (LPNC UMR CNRS 5105) from the Université Grenoble Alpes. I also do clinical activity at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital.
Research activity
I am interested in studying neurocognitive and integrative models of language and memory, in normal population (aging) and neurological patients (cognitive deficits and neurorehabilitation in epilepsy, Rasmussen encephalitis, stroke and neurodegenerative disorders). I use a multidisciplinary approach that combines cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neuroimaging and statistical learning.
