Research Interests:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a developmental cognitive neuroscientist who uses brain imaging to understand the network mechanisms supporting typical and atypical neurocognitive development. I\u2019m also fundamentally interested in exploring how rehabilitation interventions for brain injuries sustained in childhood can harness the brain\u2019s potential for repair, and how these research findings can be translated to both clinical and educational practice in a direct and meaningful way.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My research integrates multimodal neuroimaging techniques and sophisticated computational approaches to address a key unanswered question in cancer neuroscience, which is: <\/span>how does adaptive and maladaptive changes to structural\u202fconnectivity of brain networks influence network neural communication, and ultimately predict cognition in typically developing children and adolescents and those with cancer related cognitive impairments?<\/span><\/i> I\u2019m further investigating how neuroimaging indices can be utilized as novel biomarkers of cognitive impairments for children and youth treated for brain tumors.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The interdisciplinary focus of my research, which sits at the intersection of clinical neuroscience, developmental cognitive neuroscience, and computational neuroscience, has explicit clinical and educational translational relevance. My work is ultimately key to developing, informing, and monitoring new approaches to ameliorate cognitive late effects in children and youth treated for cancer and enhancing their quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forty years ago, a childhood diagnosis of a malignant brain tumour was a terminal prognosis but recent advances in treatment have drastically risen the survival rate to 85%. However, with this new increase in life the long-term emotion related ramifications of these curative interventions, like facial emotion recognition deficits, have only just recently begun to be elucidated leaving the root neural causes of emotion related cognitive deficits mostly unknown.<\/p>\n

My research focuses lie in establishing a needed and essential physical representation of how the brain changes in response to paediatric tumour treatments. Today, I investigate the effect of observed white matter damage on the ability to correctly recognize facial emotion recognition in paediatric brain tumour survivors.<\/p>\n

This research will provide the crucial groundwork necessary for identifying specific neurophysiological points of interest linked to emotional deficits in paediatric brain tumour survivors as well as aid in creating targeted intervention plans to slow or halt further emotion processing declines essential for restoring survivors\u2019 social-emotional development and quality of life.<\/p>\n
