Research Interests

The overarching aim of my work is to understand how modifiable lifestyle factors can help promote healthy brain ageing. To that end, my research combines magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) and neuropsychological assessments to characterise the relationshipbetween lifestyle factors such as physical activity and mobility, and the brain structure andfunction of older adults.
