title

My research examines the relationship between comprehension and memory, the effects of testing on learning and retention, and individual and collective memory for historical events.

From 2004-2005, I was a research technician in the Neurology Department at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine studying the effects of aging on memory and executive function under the supervision of Herman Buschke, Gail Kuslansky, and Martin Sliwinski. Prior to graduate school, I was a research associate at Brandeis University working for Michael Kahana and Arthur Wingfield investigating the effects of aging on episodic memory.
