My primary research interest is the topic of memory, and how memory abilities change with advancing age or in the presence of disease. My PhD work focused on the effects of ageing on autobiographical memory, and the use of wearable camera technology to support recall in older and younger adults. I am now working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow on a project investigating the use of wearable technology to support memory and daily living in people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment. 

I am also interested in the effects of experience on memory representation, and particularly the distinction between episodic and semantic memory.

- Autobiographical memory

- The episodic/semantic distinction

- Effects of ageing, injury, and disease on memory abilities

- Links between memory, sense of self, and social integration
