Research interests

My current research focuses on temporal lobe epilepsy, using multimodal neuroimaging and neuropsychological assessment to better understand how the epileptic brain reorganizes and how this relates to cognitive and clinical outcomes, particularly in the context of presurgical evaluation.

More broadly, I am interested in brain plasticity, memory, and the neural basis of cognition, as well as in clinical neuropsychology and the use of neuroimaging to study how brain networks support cognitive function in health and disease.
