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
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).
Alumni
