Hanane Ramzaoui

About

Dr. Hanane Ramzaoui is a cognitive psychologist and postdoctoral researcher at Louisiana State University’s Beck Visual Cognition Research Lab. She earned her PhD in Psychology from Université Côte d’Azur (France) in December 2019, where she also worked as a postdoctoral fellow at CNRS and served as a visiting assistant professor at Université Paris 5 and Université Côte d’Azur. Dr. Ramzaoui has received two fellowships from the Médéric Alzheimer Foundation in recognition of her dissertation research. Her expertise centers on visual attention and memory, with a particular focus on how bottom-up (perceptual salience) and top-down (working memory and semantic knowledge) processes guide eye movements during visual search in realistic scenes. Her research explores how these mechanisms function in healthy aging and Alzheimer’s disease and investigates how perceptual and semantic grouping influence visual working memory capacity. Dr. Ramzaoui is highly skilled in experimental methodologies including eye-tracking and EEG, with over five years of postdoctoral research experience and four years of university-level teaching.
