My work primarily relates to understanding how cognitive performance changes in late-life, and risk and protective factors for late-life dementia.  Current projects include tracking cognitive consequences (including delirium) of cardiovascular procedures in older-adults; the neural implementation of cognitive reserve, whereby individuals are differentially susceptible to age- and dementia-related brain changes; and, assessing associations between cardiovascular health, cerebrovascular functioning and cognitive performance in older adults.

My research interests include the investigation of vision and attention-related aspects of ageing and dementia. I aim to understand how people at risk of dementia see and navigate the world and how this changes over time – with the prospects of translating the gained knowledge to the design of dementia-friendly environments and refinement of eye movement measures as a biomarker of cognitive decline.
