Description of Research Projects:
I am interested in studying working memory and neuropsychiatric diseases, with a particular focus on developing touchscreen tasks to create translational working memory assessments for mice that parallel those used in humans. By leveraging touchscreen technology, I aim to disentangle the cognitive impairments present in neuropsychiatric conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia, and advance our understanding of these disorders.
