Kalenzaga Sandrine is an Assistant Professor at the University of Poitiers with HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) status, affiliated with the CeRCA (Cognition and Learning Research Center) under the MSHS (Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société). She leads the DysCo research team and co-heads the second year of the Master's program in psychology specializing in 'Psychological Sciences: Research and Application.' Her research focuses on memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the self-reference effect in aging populations.
Key research areas include the impact of emotional valence on memory, age-related stereotype threat, and neuropsychological mechanisms underlying memory disorders. Her work bridges clinical psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and gerontology. She co-supervises three doctoral students and has published extensively in journals like Memory, Emotion, and Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. Her studies often utilize neuroimaging techniques (e.g., fMRI) to explore self-referential processing in healthy and clinical populations.
Teaching responsibilities include advanced master’s coursework in psychological sciences, emphasizing research applications in clinical and neuropsychological contexts. She actively contributes to interdisciplinary collaborations within CeRCA, integrating cognitive, behavioral, and neurobiological perspectives to address memory-related disorders.
