Biography

Born in Lyon and raised in Bordeaux (France), Sophie is a post-doctoral fellow at the LNC² in the Human Reinforcement Learning team. She received a bachelor’s degree in fundamental mathematics, a master’s degree in cellular neuroscience from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), and a PhD in cognitive and computational neuroscience from the Ecole normale supérieure. Her current work involves computational applications in value-based decision-making. She is interested in the different strategies we use to make decisions, their inter-individual variability, and the neuropathologies emerging from their dysfunction.
