Biography

My research uses a multimodal approach including pupillometry assessment, brain imaging, and modeling to understand how age and individual differences in the brain's anatomical and neurochemical function shape decision-making and reward learning in aging. I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher working together with Dr. Anne Berry at Brandeis University. My research in the lab focuses on individual differences in the locus coeruleus catecholamine synthesis capacity in promoting high-level cognition in older adults.
