I am working as a PhD candidate in the Research Group for Lifespan Changes in Brain and Cognition (LCBC). The focus of my project is on structural and functional brain asymmetry and its relationship to cognitive functioning throughout the lifespan, with a particular emphasis on episodic memory and the ageing brain.
