-I'm working on _visual mental imagery_, _aphantasia_ and topics associated with _attention and consciousness_. I use neuroimaging techniques including 7T fMRI, DTI and intracranial recording.
+**Welcome! Let me guide you through my research journey.**
 
-Originally trained in mechanical engineering for many years, I later transitioned into the field of neuroscience.
+I am a cognitive neuroscientist investigating **visual mental imagery** and **aphantasia**, employing advanced neuroimaging techniques such as ultra-high-field 7T fMRI, DTI, and cognitive tasks.
+
+In late 2023, I obtained my Ph.D in Cognitive Neuroscience from Sorbonne University after 4 years at **Paris Brain Institute**, under the supervision of [Paolo Bartolomeo](https://parisbraininstitute.org/collaborators/bartolomeo-paolo). My doctoral work mainly focused on 7T fMRI studies of visual mental imagery and also included spatiotemporal dynamics of the interaction between attention and conscious report.
+
+My academic path began with a background in mechanical engineering for many years, which later led me to transition into bioengineering, driven by a fascination for the brain's inner workings.
+
+Below, you’ll find my latest updates, [publications](/publications/), ongoing projects, some [Research blogs](/blog/), social media links (some pages are still under construction).
