Background

I obtained my research master's degree in Neuropsychology at the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands. I completed my placement for this degree at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, working with Tristan Bekinschtein and Adrian Owen. The focus of my placement was on measuring learning and language abilities in patients with disorders of consciousness.

In the year after completing my degree, I stayed on for six more months at the CBU, after which I worked three months in Buenos Aires, Argentina; I worked together with Mariano Sigman at the Integrative Neuroscience Laboratory of the University of Buenos Aires, and with Agustin Ibañez at INECO, a cognitive neurological institute.
