Sorbonne Université
Klara Kovarski est maîtresse de conférences à Sorbonne Université (INSPE-Paris). Après une licence en philosophie (Université de Gênes), elle a obtenu 2013 un master en sciences cognitives (Cogmaster) et un en philosophie des sciences (Lophisc). Elle a réalisé une thèse en neurosciences cognitives à l'Université de Tours sous la direction de Magali Batty (Inserm, iBrain, 2018), et une mobilité de thèse au sein du laboratoire de Margot Taylor (Sickkids Hospital, Toronto). De 2018 à 2019, elle était post-doctorante à l'Hôpital Fondation Rothschild et à l'INCC (CNRS, Université Paris-Cité) sous la direction de Sylvie Chokron et ensuite chercheure, avant de rejoindre le LaPsyDÉ en septembre 2022. Ses recherches portent sur la fonction visuelle et le traitement des émotions dans le développement typique et dans l'autisme, au moyen d'enregistrements électrophysiologiques, en eye-tracking et en comportement. Entre 2020 et 2023 elle co-encadre avec Sylvie Chokron la thèse de Lucie Rose sur le développement de l'altruisme chez l'enfant.
