My name is Gayannée Kedia (Gaya for my friends). I am a researcher in psychology and neuroscience, as well as a scientific advisor. I am French, but after my Ph.D., my academic career took me to the UK, Germany, and Austria, where I still live. If you want to know more about my personal story and what led me to create this blog, you can read this post.

A Brilliant Mind began as a personal blog, born from my fascination with what the human mind can accomplish and my belief that, with the right methods, everyone can become brilliant. Over time, however, it has grown into something larger. In 2026, it became a startup, which I am now building together with Mina Movahedi and Manfred Kukuvec. Together, we develop live and digital tools to help researchers write, think, and work more effectively.

I created this blog to share the tips, techniques, and inspirations that have helped me become a better writer, a more productive researcher, and a more confident and happy person. I hope you will find them useful as well.

Let’s keep in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
