Current research: 

My research looks at the impact of bilingualism on cognitive reserve and brain anatomy in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. I am interested in understanding if speaking more than one language contributes to cognitive and linguistic advantages in two patient populations (Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and Parkinson鈥檚 disease), and how bilingualism modulates structural grey matter in the brain. I use a combination of neuropsychological tests and neuroimaging (MEG, MRI) to answer these questions.
