Research Interests
My research falls within the field of clinical neuropsychology.
Specifically, I am interested in the cognitive, behavioral and psychological impact of craniosynostoses, particularly metopic synostosis and sagittal synostosis.
I have also extensively explored the impact of traumatic brain injury on the risk of depression and anxiety.
In addition to clinical research, I have considerable experience formulating meta-analyses that consolidate existing research in various areas of neuropsychology and education.
