I studied human physiology and psychophysiology at the University of Lille1 (Lille, France), completed postgraduate studies in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, and received a PhD in cognitive from the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France) in 2004. I then joined the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences at the University of Geneva as a post doc. I am now a Scientific Collaborator in the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences where I coordinate a scientific project EmOdor that results from a partnership between the University of Geneva and Firmenich S.A.
