Research
Brief overview of research interest
Sleep and memory are my two main research interests. My PhD focuses on the manipulation of sleep through a method called Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR), in order to improve memory and creativity.
I also have a particular interest in neurodegenerative diseases.
