My research focuses on understanding and accounting for heterogeneity in cognitive recovery in individuals with a history of traumatic brain injury. In particular, I am interested in how differences in memory and learning across individuals might impact successful rehabilitation after brain injury. I also study how language and memory systems interact to support human communication. Across these research areas, I have a particular interest in improving measurement and research practices, so that research findings are replicable, generalizable, and clinically-applicable.
