ABOUT

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Morgan Barense.To date, my primary research focus has been understanding the neurocognitive changes that happen during aging. In particular, I study how memory and attentional mechanisms develop and change with age.
