Biography
I am a doctoral student in Clinical Neuropsychology (Ph.D. R/I) at the Université de Montréal, and I am interested in the psychological, neuropsychological, and neurophysiological mechanisms involved in the human experience of pain. My research interests focus more specifically on chronic pain, stress, and psychological factors that may contribute to the maintenance or evolution of pain, such as catastrophizing, pain acceptance, and self-efficacy.
I am also interested in the mental and cerebral representation of pain, particularly in relation to memory, communication, and empathy, as well as in pain modulation mechanisms, including placebo effects, emotions, and cerebrospinal regulatory processes. Through my work, I aim to better understand the diversity of profiles among people living with persistent pain in order to contribute to more personalized care that is better adapted to their needs.
