Research Focus

Broadly, my research focus is around movement and cognitive neurological disorders. I am working with neuroscientists and computer scientists to develop non-invasive population level biomarkers of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease; also working on other neurological disorders such as tremor, dystonia and functional neurological disorders. My interdisciplinary research is clinically applied- bringing together neurology, geriatrics, psychology and computer science.
