Research Description
I am primarily interested in leveraging advanced neuroimaging methodologies (e.g., fMRI, EEG/ERP) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying emotion–memory interactions in healthy populations. In addition, I am also interested in developing neuroscience-informed training interventions to enhance well-being in populations where these processes may be compromised or dysfunctional.
