| Jan 14, 2025 | I successfully passed my private defense!  The committee praised my rigorous methodology, the clarity of my thesis manuscript and presentation, and my substantial contributions to the field. Wrapping up this Ph.D. has been both a challenge and a privilege. These four years were filled with hard work, learning, and moments of doubt, but also excitement, discovery, and growth. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and grateful for everyone who supported me along the way—now onto the final step, the public defense! |

| Sep 06, 2024 | The data collection of our large multimodal MRI acquisition on a single subject (HCPh) is finished! A single subject underwent 72 sessions of a comprehensive MRI protocol. I organized, managed and carried out the collection of the last 36 sessions that we acquired across 3 scanners including 2 full-time clinical scanners. |
| May 05, 2024 | I am happy to share more about my topic of predilection, quality control 🌟, in a poster at OHBM24 in Seoul, South Korea! In this poster, I am presenting how we leverage a positive control task to assess the integrity of the analysis workflow. More about this important work here. |
| Nov 14, 2023 | We received in principle acceptance by the prestigious journal Nature Methods for our second Stage 1 Registered Report. My team and I have been working hard towards this moment and are thrilled to share the news. We will now immediately start the data collection. |
| Jul 22, 2023 | My first talk at a conference! 😃 I will be presenting what an ideal QC workflow looks like for us, highlighting QC guidelines to improve the reliability of your study, and presenting how to leverage MRIQC and fMRIPrep to assess data quality. Come listen to this educational if you want to implement better quality control (which is crucial for reliability!!) I’m also looking forward to getting insights from the other presenters and discussing this important topic that I’ve been heavily involved in. Thank you to the research topic organizers for putting together this important initiative and giving me the opportunity to participate! |
| Jun 23, 2023 | I am presenting a poster at OHBM22 in Glasgow, Scotland! I am presenting my poster entitled “Defacing biases manual and automated quality assessments of structural MRI with MRIQC”. Pass by my poster number WTh566 tomorrow thursday 23.06 at 1.45pm to share questions, ideas or suggestions. A preview of the poster content is available here. |
| Jun 01, 2023 | I am starting a doctoral research visit in Stanford University! 🌲 In my Ph.D., I am essentially contributing to expand the tools that were initiated here, so it is an honor to be at the source 😊. Through my stay, I hope to gain perspective around open science stakes and solutions and to expand my professional network through meaningful collaboration. |
| May 31, 2023 | My first registered report received Stage 1 in principle acceptance from the Peer Community in Registered Report. In this confirmatory study, I will investigate whether the preprocessing step of defacing T1w images impact how their quality is perceived by humans and machines. |
| May 05, 2023 | Fantastic team got us a poster at OHBM23 in Montreal, Canada! Incredibly proud to have led a project at the BrainHack Geneva with a team talented enough to get ourselves a poster at OHBM!  In this work, we leverage the image quality metrics generated by MRIQC to predict the extent of head motion in T1w images using machine learning. Using feature extraction, we also showed that signal-to-noise ratio is the most important feature for this prediction. Pass by our poster to get to know more about our methods and the results  |
| May 05, 2023 | I am presenting a poster at ISMRM22 in London! Next week, I will be presenting my abstract called “Quality control and nuisance regression of fMRI, looking out where signal should not be found” at the ISMRM conference. Here is the link to my abstract. Meet me at 14:45 on Thursday 12 May at the posters session, if you have some questions, suggestions or ideas. |
| Dec 19, 2022 | My first paper got accepted!  In this paper, I present the quality control protocol we developed for functional MRI. For more information, checkout the projects page. |
