Research Interests

My research is primarily focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). More specifically, I am interested in birth-related factors associated with ASD. Other research interests broadly include neurodevelopmental disorders, prevalence, risk, and outcomes.

Overall, my research aims to enhance early Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and improve understanding on how to positively influence the life trajectories of individuals at high risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
