Defended in 2024 PhD in Neurophysiology/Physiology – INSERM U1093 CAPS, UBFC (Dijon) – Kurage (CIFRE – Lyon)
2021 Master STAPS – Adapted Physical Activities and Health – “Research” specialty in Rehabilitation and Plasticity of the Motor Function – Dijon
“Sequential stimulation: an effective method to reduce neuromuscular fatigue during myostimulation session?”
2019 Licence STAPS – Adapted Physical Activities and Health – Dijon
  • Title: “Muscle electrostimulation and rehabilitation: towards an optimization of the technique to maximize the benefits on physical and mental health.”
  • Director: Dr. Gaëlle DELEY (MCU)
  • Co-supervisor: Dr. Julien BRUGNIAUX (MCU – Grenoble)
  • Research topic: My research focuses on neurophysiology and more particularly on the clinical application of electrical stimulation. The main objective of this thesis project is to optimize the stimulation parameters to be used during the implementation of ESM programs to maximize both physical and mental benefits.
