Postdoctoral researcher
Walker Lab, UC Berkeley
I am a French neuroscientist and sleep researcher in the Center for Human Sleep Science (Walker Lab) at the University of California, Berkeley.
My research examines how sleep impacts human behavior and physiology. My work has been featured in several news media and podcasts (e.g. New York Times, Discover Magazine, This Is Your Brain).
I am also passionate about machine learning and algorithm development. I specialize in the analysis of polysomnography and wearable physiological data.
For my research, I have created several open-source libraries in Python, which are now being used by thousands across the globe:
Pingouin (statistics, +200,000 downloads),
YASA (sleep analysis) and
AntroPy (signal processing).
