Research

I am interested in all aspects of cognitive neuropsychology with particular interest in language production, comprehension and memory. I have worked with stroke patients with acquired language disorders as well as children and unimpaired adults (in Sri Lanka, India, Turkey and UK). I have also gained experience in administering and analysing a variety of neuropsychological assessments and have helped adapt several assessments into Tamil and Hindi. I am particularly interested in bringing research data from underrepresented communities into mainstream psychology. Recently, I have worked with several Indigenous communities and local communities in exploring gaps in dementia support for patients and caregivers.

Note: PSYCH 104 is not a prerequisite for PSYCH 105. PSYCH 104 and 105 can be taken in either term, but not in the same term. [Faculty of Science]
