Say hello to Lila!

Hi!

My name is Lila Gravellier and I’m a new postdoctoral researcher at K2. I come from France, where I completed a PhD in computer science in Toulouse. I am now part of the center for diabetes research where I am supervised by Helge Ræder. My current research explores the relationship between data collected by wearable sensors (sleep, physical activity, glucose level, …) and daily fluctuations in steroid hormone levels.

You can find me at the office 6168, Glasblokkene, blokk 1, 6th floor.

Ses!
