I am Professor of Psychiatry in charge of the Center of Expertise in Bipolar Disorders and the Psychiatric Emergency Unit at the Academic Department of Psychiatry in Versailles Hospital. I also teach psychiatry to health students at Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University. I am a researcher in the team DisAP (cognitive Disability and functional impairments in Acquired brain injuries and Psychiatric disorders) at the CESP-DevPsy (Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health - Development Psychiatry & Trajectories), affiliated to INSERM, Paris-Saclay University, and Versailles-Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines University. I was trained in cognitive neurosciences through a Ph.D. under the supervision of Pr Franck Ramus at the LSCP in the Ecole Normale Supérieure. My research aims to better understand cognitive deficits in severe and persistent mental disorders, particularly schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. My two main lines of research are: 1°) cognitive neurosciences with the exploration of the cerebral basis of deficits in social cognition and metacognition in schizophrenia. I collaborate with Nathan Faivre, a CNRS researcher at LPNC 2°) clinical epidemiology with the exploration of neuropsychological performances measured with extensive batteries in cohorts of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. The objective is to better characterize psychiatric disability in severe and persistent mental disorders to prevent it and help rehabilitation.
