Biography

I am a geriatrician with a strong academic background, having obtained my medical degree (MD) in 2015, followed by a specialization in geriatrics in 2017 in France. I completed my PhD in neuroscience in 2021, focusing on cognitive aging and the challenges of autonomy and decision-making in elderly individuals. Since relocating to Quebec in 2022, I have been practicing as a geriatrician at the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal (IUGM) and serve as an assistant professor at the Université de Montréal, where I am involved in clinician-researcher activities at the IUGM research center (CRIUGM). My research approach integrates clinical practice, cognitive neuroscience, and ethical considerations regarding the use of technology and artificial intelligence in geriatrics. As a Junior 1 researcher at the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) since 2025, I aim to contribute to comprehensive and integrated aging care models that balance safety, autonomy, dignity, and social participation while critically examining the ethical implications of digital technologies and AI in clinical decision-making contexts.
