Research

Focus

Rehabilitation is my main focus. Thus, I am interested in outcome following brain injury. Within this area of interest, I am working on identifying infants who are at risk for developing stroke. I am evaluating the use of indicators to identify the risk of brain injury in infants with congenital cardiac abnormalities who require surgery. I am also engaged in follow up of children born prematurely with a risk for later neurodevelopmental problems.
