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

I am interested in interdisciplinary research, broadly at the cross-section of cognitive, educational, and clinical psychology. Over the past few years, I have conducted research focusing on understanding brain mechanisms and developing interventions for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and dyslexia. I am also involved in research aiming to understand reading abilities in typically developing children. I conduct cognitive and clinical assessments with both children and adults, as well as neurophysiological assessments and treatments using neuroscience techniques (EEG, MRI, TDCS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Current Research Projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently working on completing two projects, both funded by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Canada, that investigate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Brain and cognitive predictors of reading abilities in young children.<\/li>
  2. Neuroscience-based interventions for children with reading difficulties.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I collaborate with Dr. Helene Deacon and Professor Aaron Newman at the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Dalhousie University; and with Dr. Gabrielle Wilcox (School of Education) and Dr. Frank MacMaster (Alberta Children\u2019s Hospital) at the University of Calgary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Developing Research Areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am interested in developing further research in the following areas: social cognition, educational neuroscience, social-emotional development, and clinical interventions for children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
