PhD in Psychology, Clinical Health Psychologist.

Postdoctoral researcher, DEEP team (Emotional dynamics and pathologies) of SCALab laboratory. 

I defended my thesis on 2 July 2024. Entitled ‘Analysis of the dynamics and dyadic processes underlying the experience of a couple facing a neurodegenerative disease’, my thesis aimed to understand the experience and functioning of couples in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The results of this work are important for the long-term development of interventions aimed at improving the couple's well-being and guiding healthcare professionals in supporting patients, their loved ones, and couples. 

My thesis was supervised by Prof. Pascal Antoine and funded by LabEx DistAlz (Development of innovative strategies for a transdisciplinary approach to Alzheimer's disease) and the Hauts de France region.

Since September 2024, I have been working with Dr Emilie Wawrziczny on the CONTROL-PARK project, funded by the France Parkinson association. This project focuses on the symptom control and management behaviours of family carers in the context of Parkinson's disease. Using PLS-PM models, the project aims to model the various psychological and disease-related factors associated with these behaviours.
