Areas of Research
My program of research is focused on the neuropsychological outcomes of children and adolescents with acquired brain injuries, with most studies looking at concussion/mTBI. There are four broad goals of my research with youth:
- Improve our ability to diagnosis, manage, and prognosticate after brain injury
- Understand neurobiopsychosocial markers of the post-concussion syndrome
- Evaluate long-term outcomes from brain injury
- Explore treatment methods for youth with concussion/mTBI (both early prevention of poor recovery and treatment of those already with post-concussion syndrome)
I employ a variety of tools in my research, including computerized cognitive testing, traditional paper-and-pencil neuropsychological testing, psychological questionnaires, and neuroimaging. I collaborate with numerous other investigators locally (ACH and the University of Calgary), provincially, nationally, and internationally.
