Personal profile
Biographical Details
I joined UNE as a Lecturer in Neuroscience in November 2024. My research is centred on clarifying the biological bases of cognitive and behavioural changes that occur with ageing and neurological disease. I investigate brain structure, function and physiology using magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychological tools.
