Research Focus

My primary research interests lie in investigating the neural changes associated with neurological disorders and healthy aging. I am interested in the integration of behavioural and neuroimaging measures of brain function, with goal to understand changes in cognitive functioning associated with brain damage and recovery. I would like to direct my research efforts to identify factors which affect our producing and understanding of language, and how these are influenced by stroke, neurological disorders and healthy aging.
