Visitor Stat:

My research activity concentrates on the neural bases of multisensory information processing, with a focus on spatial cognition related functions.

In January 2007 I was appointed as a permanent researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS. Ever since 2007, I've been establishing the new Adaptive NeuroComputation (ANC) group, which is part of the unit UMR7102 of Neurobiology of Adaptive Processes, at the University Pierre & Marie Curie, in Paris. From 2004 to 2006, I have been working as an associate researcher at the Neural Information Dynamics group, at the SONY Computer Science Laboratory (CSL), in Paris. From 2001 to 2003, I held a post-doctoral position and then an associate researcher position at the Laboratory of Physiology of Perception and Action (LPPA), at the Collège de France-CNRS in Paris. From 1997 to 2000, I have been a Ph.D. student and an assistant researcher at the Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL). Finally, in 1996 I worked for my Master's Degree project at the Institute for Systems, Informatics and Safety of the Joint Research Centre (EU), Italy.
