I'm a neurologist in the Sleep Pathology Department headed by Prof. Isabelle Arnulf. 

Before working in the Sleep Pathology team, I worked in the Epileptology team at the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital, an activity which allowed me to acquire clinical and EEG analysis skills, which I use in my current clinical and research work.  

My research project, currently the subject of a PhD thesis, focuses on the aspect of sleep in autoimmune encephalitis, and more specifically on the identification of neurological markers (parasomnias, hypersomnias, epilepsies, EEG, EOG) and respiratory markers (apneas, hypoventilation, stridor, sighs, ataxic breathing) of sleep and wakefulness in patients with autoimmune encephalitis, facilitating the diagnosis and management decisions in patients with this pathology. 

My research work is made possible by collaboration with the Neurology, Neuro-Intensive Care and Pneumology departments of the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital.
