I am a Research Fellow in the School of Psychology, UNSW Sydney, and Affiliated Scientist in the Centre for Pain IMPACT at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA). I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Tours, France, where I specialised in the investigation of the early neurobiological alterations involved in the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I lead the Neuroimaging, Neurobiology and Mental Health Program within the UNSW NeuroRecovery Research Hub, and created and co-chair the ENIGMA-Chronic pain working group. I have a strong interest in understanding the role of stress and trauma in the development of physical and mental health conditions.
