    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse Overview
    I am interested in understanding factors that contribute to brain aging, and especially the role of multimorbidity in cognitive decline. My current research focuses on the relationship between sensory impairments (e.g. hearing and vision loss) and dementia in older adults.
