Biography & Research: 

My research seeks to understand the role of cognition and sensory integration in the control of goal-directed movements (i.e., saccades and goal-directed grasping). In addition, a goal is to understand how short- and long-term exercise programs improve sensorimotor control in healthy adults and individuals meeting the criterion for mild cognitive impairment, and cognitive impairment not dementia.
