Cognition in white matter neuropathology: My primary research interests involve cognition in neurodegenerative diseases affecting the white matter and the contribution of depressive symptoms to cognitive impairment in neurodegenerative disorders (specifically Huntington disease and multiple sclerosis). Additional research interests include the contribution of extra-test factors on cognitive test performance, awareness of cognitive deficits in neurological populations, and cognition in deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“The faculty have created a highly collaborative and professional environment, giving graduate students the opportunity to pursue their individual research interests.”
