About me
- Research Fellow, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, since 2025: Neurodesk, open and reproducible science, neuroimaging and clinical translation
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA (2023–2025): primary progressive aphasia, neuromodulation and neuroimaging
- PhD in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Sciences, Université de Montréal (2023)
- Professional Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology, Université de Montréal (2015)
- Speech-language pathologist registered with the OOAQ (Quebec), Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC) and Speech Pathology Australia (Certified Practising)
- In private clinical practice since 2016, now by telepractice with clients in Quebec
My main research interests are the rehabilitation of communication disorders in people living with aphasia after a stroke or living with a neurodegenerative disease. More specifically, I am interested in the effectiveness of speech-language interventions, therapy-induced neuroplasticity after stroke, the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and maintaining communication and quality of life for people living with a neurodegenerative disease and their families.
At The University of Queensland, I contribute to Neurodesk, an open-source platform for reproducible neuroimaging (2025 AIIA iAward, Technology Platform of the Year), and I lead the CALMaR project, which aims to make brain imaging useful for speech-language pathology practice after stroke. I also coordinate a biomedical engineering course and contribute to speech pathology education.
I have experience in behavioural and neuroimaging data acquisition (fMRI, tDCS, TMS), clinical trial coordination, supervising students from undergraduate to PhD level, grant writing and teaching. In my day-to-day work I use Python, R and MATLAB, along with containerized software environments.
