About me
I began my research career investigating the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection, focusing on cognitive impairment 2–3 years post-hospitalization using multimodal data from the UK Biobank and the PHOSP research consortium.
Currently, I am leveraging large-scale Electronic Health Records (US, UK) to study symptom instability as an early warning sign of important clinical events (e.g. transition to severe depression, first episode of psychosis).
Before joining the Department of Psychiatry, I earned an MSc in Biomedical Engineering from the École Polytechnique de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium), where I developed my analytical and problem-solving skills, laying a strong foundation for my work in research.
