Personal profile

Research interests

I am interested in the mechanisms responsible for neural recovery, specifically how combining behavioral rehabilitation strategies with other adjunctive interventions, such as non-invasive brain stimulation can optimize functional recovery after stroke and brain injury. Of particular interest is the role of the dento-thalamic cortical (DTC) pathway in the recovery of speech, language and working memory after stroke and in children with cerebellar mutism syndrome following resection of posterior fossa tumors. I have experience using non-invasive brain stimulation tools including transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation and have recently added EEG into my lab.
