Research Interests: 

  • Focused primarily on the cognitive and clinical neuroscience of aging and mild cognitive impairment.
  • Particularly interested in integrating brain imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques to develop image-guided therapeutic TMS protocols.
  • Explore TMS-derived and image-based biomarkers for early diagnosis and prediction of therapeutic outcomes for individuals with mild cognitive impairment and healthy older adults.
