Team
I am a member of the Empenn team, a research group of circa 30 members in methodological and applied neuroimaging science. Within the team, I currently supervise:
PhD candidates
Youenn Merel, co-advised with Mathieu Acher, since October 2024. Exploring the variability induced by different configurations in the neuroimaging analytical space (ANR JCJC VICUNA).
Melvin Selim Atay, co-advised with Elise Bannier, since April 2024. Sharing FAIR protocols and workflows to better understand analytical variability in neuroimaging (PEPR ShareFAIR).
Research engineers
Alexandre Pron, co-advised with Michael Kain, since January 2024. Shanoir and Open science (FLI-IAM).
Boris Clenet, since November 2022. NARPS Open pipelines: an open codebase to study analytical variability (Inria Exploratory action GRASP) and neuroimaging pipelines (ANR JCJC VICUNA).
Student intern
Anne-Gaelle Geffroy, Master 2 student in Bioinformatics at Univ Rennes, intern since Januray 2025 in co-supervision with Boris Clenet. NARPS Open pipelines: reproducing FSL pipelines in nipype.
