My research program investigates the neurobiological basis of cognitive dysfunction across the lifespan, focusing on critical populations such as children with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ADHD) and elders with neurodegenerative conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s disease). I employ a highly interdisciplinary approach that integrates cognitive science, advanced functional neuroimaging, and computational modeling, with the aim of delineating the neurocognitive processes that govern typical and atypical brain development and aging. The ultimate goal of my research is to advance the understanding of the factors contributing to cognitive deficits, translating findings into improved diagnostic tools and precision treatment strategies.
