My research focus relates to the consequences of neuropsychological impairment for the individual and family, using a framework of cognitive neuropsychology and memory. Recent research projects have centred on evaluation of the neuropsychological changes and interventions for these cognitive changes in traumatic brain injury in older adults, mild cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative conditions including early Alzheimer’s disease. I am the co-ordinator of the Postgraduate Training Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology and also a registered Clinical Neuropsychologist and hold a sessional appointment in the Psychology Department, Caulfield General Medical Centre.
