Now in the second year of her PhD candidacy, her broad research interest is factors for maintaining cognitive health in later life, with a specific focus on education as a protective factor. Her PhD topic also investigates the phenomenon of “SuperAgers” – people in their 60s who perform as well as, or better than, people 40 years younger than them on cognitive tests.
