Assistant Professor Department of Speech-Language Pathology, University of Toronto

Research Focus

My curernt research focuses on (1) language interventions for adults with progressive aphasia, a neurodegenerative disorder that deprives people of their ability to understand and retrieve words, (2) neuroanatomical corelates of successful therapy, and (3) signs of dementia in written language through computational analysis of online samples.

My current work is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Google
