My primary research interest involves vascular disease, how this
contributes to cognitive decline in the elderly, and how to develop
strategies for early identification of those individuals at greatest
risk for such decline. Additional research interests include decision
making and capacity for informed consent in vulnerable populations, and
neuropsychological and emotional functioning in the following
populations: post-stroke patients, schizophrenia and other mental
illness, eating disorders.
