Biography

Emilie is a clinical psychologist who graduated from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Geneva, where she specialized in clinical and cognitive psychology. She recently completed her PhD in neuroscience at the Network and Plasticity Modulation Lab of Geneva University Hospital (HUG), successfully defending her thesis on “The interplay between structure and function in the neural organization of working memory”.

Her research focused on the anatomical and functional correlates of high-level cognitive functions, such as working memory, in both healthy individuals and people with brain injuries, particularly following a stroke.

Alongside her doctoral work, Emilie has worked as a clinical neuropsychologist at HUG, conducting neuropsychological assessments and supporting patients with neurological disorders. She has also developed expertise in neuromodulation, especially transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and contributed to neuronavigated brain mapping to identify healthy brain tissue in patients with brain tumors.

Driven by a strong commitment to mental health and patient care, Emilie is passionate about advancing her work at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuropsychology. She continues to explore innovative approaches in neurorehabilitation and psychotherapy, aiming to promote integrative, evidence-based strategies that enhance quality of life for individuals with neurological and cognitive challenges.
