Research interest

My research interest lies in understanding how cognitive functions are impacted by various neurodegenerative disorders associated with aging, including Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, and primary progressive aphasia. I am particularly focused on identifying targeted treatments that can enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by these disorders. Additionally, I have a keen interest in studying the frontal lobe, executive functions, and the application of psychometrics in neuropsychological assessment
