Yseult Héjja-Brichard, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral researcher in Biological Sciences at University of Maryland Baltimore County

Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America

About

Yseult Héjja-Brichard received her PhD in Neuroscience, Cognition, and Behaviour from Université Paul-Sabatier Toulouse, France in 2020. She subsequently completed her first postdoctoral training at the Centre for functional and evolutionary ecology (CNRS) in Montpellier, France. She is now working as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Yseult Héjja-Brichard’s research interests lie at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and behavioural ecology. Her work has primarily focused on understanding how the brain efficiently processes information to enable decisions and behaviours. She informs those processes using an evolutionary and ecological perspective.
