- PhD, York University, 2018
Her research lies at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, aging, and cognition. She investigates how cognitive control, attention, memory, and decision-making evolve across the lifespan and under conditions such as mild cognitive impairment and bilingualism. Her work employs advanced neuroscientific techniques including event-related potentials (ERPs), resting-state fMRI, pupillometry, and eye-tracking to explore the neural and physiological mechanisms underlying motivated attention and risk-based decisions in younger and older adults.
The recent publications highlight a strong focus on aging, cognitive control, and the neural underpinnings of memory and language. Key themes include the impact of emotional arousal on decision-making, functional brain connectivity in aging and cognitive decline, and the cognitive benefits of bilingualism. Her work bridges experimental psychology with clinical and developmental insights, contributing significantly to our understanding of lifespan cognitive changes.
