I am a CanNRT Postdoctoral Fellow at l’Université de Montréal et CHU Sainte-Justine and a member of IEEE Brain and IBM Quantum’s Healthcare and Life Sciences Working Group.

My research develops electrophysiological biomarkers and computational methods to understand brain dynamics in Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. My current work focuses on how chronic stress and environmental misalignment shape neural and autonomic signatures across the lifespan, and how those signatures relate to long-term health outcomes.

My fascination with the brain began with a childhood gift of ‘A Kid’s Guide to the Brain’. That early curiosity led to science fair wins, a formative co-op placement at the Ottawa Hospital’s Cancer Centre, and eventually across three countries for my training.

I completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, then pursued graduate studies in Germany, earning my MSc in Experimental and Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Regensburg. My thesis work took me to Dublin, where I investigated the proteomics of schizophrenia at the Royal College of Surgeons.

My PhD at the University of Ottawa examined neural dynamics in healthy individuals using EEG. That work earned me the Governor General's Academic Gold Medal, the highest distinction for doctoral performance across the faculties of Medicine, Health Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Mental Health Research, I extended these methods to psychiatric populations and identified reduced temporal precision of theta-band phase coherence as a biomarker for schizophrenia. This work led to several high-impact publications, another award, and contributions to medical technology development.

I now work in the Precision Psychiatry and Social Physiology (PPSP) lab of Prof. Guillaume Dumas. With support from Centre UNIQUE and FRQNT, and as a member of IBM Quantum’s Healthcare and Life Sciences Working Group, I am developing and evaluating quantum computing for analysing human electrophysiological data.
