Sinem is a research engineer working on the neural basis of social connectivity in children. She holds a Bachelor’s in Life Sciences from Sorbonne University and a Master’s in Neuroscience from Ecole Normale Supérieure-PSL. Previously, she investigated the relative contribution of facial regions in the perception of emotions at TU Graz, Austria, and the electrophysiological markers of preclinical AD at KU Leuven, Belgium. In her current role, she employs fNIRS hyperscanning, a technique for simultaneous brain activity measurement, to observe the neural dynamics of social interaction. With a focus on children aged 5-12, her goal is to integrate this insight into the team’s development of an empathetic AI tool customized for educational purposes. Sinem is passionate about interdisciplinary research and treasures connections with diverse minds. Beyond the lab, she enjoys being active in nature, travelling and capturing life through photopgrahy.
