Research Summary
I am a
research psychologist at the Dementia Research Centre, UCL Queen Square
Institute of Neurology and an Alzheimer’s Society Fellow. My work has primarily focused on investigating
how Alzheimer’s disease and posterior cortical atrophy may affect visual perception
and spatial awareness. My research combines approaches of neuropsychological
and engineering disciplines to develop and evaluate strategies supporting independent
activities, including assistive technology and environmental adaptations to
support reading, object finding and navigation.
