Bio:

I'm a neuroscientist with a fascination of the mind and its potential for cognitive and motor performances. Using different neuroimaging techniques, I investigate how meditation and other mind-body techniques affects our performance, health and well-being. I aim to share my knowledge and am available for consultation on topics about meditation, spirituality, cognitive neuroscience and motor control.

My background summary:
- Winner (2020-22) of prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (€187,573; <12% win rate). Topic : "Individualised COgnitive and Motor learning for the Elderly (ICOME)"
- PhD in Cognitive & Motor Neuroscience
- Published author in the Neuroscience of Meditation
- Trained in electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) acquisition and analysis

Community contributions:
- Yoga and meditation practitioner since 2009, instructor since 2013
- Lululemon Adelaide Ambassador (2013-15)
- Senior health and wellbeing scientist (2011-14)
