Simone Patti

Simone Patti serves as a Professor in the Psychology Department at Santa Clara University, holding dual leadership roles as Director of both the Neuroscience Program and Gerontology Program. Her institutional affiliations demonstrate significant interdisciplinary engagement across brain science and aging studies.

Her research critically examines cognitive aging processes, neural mechanisms of memory in older adults, and lifestyle impacts on lifelong brain health. This work bridges experimental neuroscience with gerontological frameworks to address neuroplasticity, longevity, and age-related cognitive trajectories through integrated biological and psychological lenses.

Administratively, Dr. Patti shapes academic programming through her directorship of two major university initiatives, indicating substantial influence over curriculum development and research infrastructure in neuroscience and gerontology fields.
