Lab Manager / Research Assistant

Biographical Information

I am the Lab Manager/ Research Assistant at the Memory and Language Laboratory (MALL). I earned my bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from Kenyon College, completing my comprehensive exam on the role of nitric oxide in Alzheimer’s disease.

Research Overview

In Dr. Dennis’ Lab, I research recognition memory, with particular mind to context- and item-noise accounts. I also contribute to the Infospace information retrieval project. My overriding research interest is to work toward developing a memory model that incorporates both behavioral and neural evidence. Additionally, I aim to apply research in cognitive principles of memory toward understanding the factors underlying dementia and neurodegenerative disease.
