Memory is integral to almost everything we do; it tells us who we are, what we have accomplished, and what we want from the future. So, it is no surprise that when it fails us, it contributes to some of the most challenging neurological and mental health issues in society today (including dementia, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder).

 My research focuses on understanding the fundamental neural mechanisms that allow us to form new memories and relive past ones in vivid detail, and what happens when these processes go wrong. I use a variety of neuroimaging and neuromodulatory techniques to do this, with the ultimate goal of finding new methods to restore and augment our ability to remember.
