About me

I am a postdoc at the computational neuroscience laboratory at Imperial College London. I am interested in what kind of algorithms and representations the brain uses for navigation, learning and memory. In particular, I study the hippocampus, a brain area that contains a ‘‘cognitive map’’ of physical and abstract space. My work combines neuroscience and machine learning, focussing on how the hippocampus learns representations of states and uncertainty that help us learn more efficiently.

Before starting at Imperial, I did my PhD in the Space & Memory lab and at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at University College London, supervised by Neil Burgess. Before starting my PhD, I obtained undergraduate degrees in Natural Sciences and Neuroscience at the University of Amsterdam and a master’s in Brain and Mind Sciences at UCL combined with Sorbonne Université and Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
