Description of Clinical Expertise
I treat patients who have suffered from stroke and other brain injuries from the hyperacute period of their disease (as they enter the hospital) to the chronic period (as they are rehabilitating).Description of Research Expertise
My research interests focus on recovery of cognitive function after stroke and other brain injuries. I investigate how targeted, early interventions after stroke can improve cognitive performance. An additional area of interest for me is on healthcare technologies and how these tools can be utilized to provide accessible, cost-effective therapies.Selected Publications
