About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive neuroscience of memory and aging at The Center for Vital Longevity at The University of Texas at Dallas. I recently obtained my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Michael D. Rugg at the Functional Neuroimaging of Memory Laboratory.
My current research explores the impact of cognitive aging on episodic memory function. My dissertation focused on the relationship between age, cognitive performance, and the fMRI-based neural correlates of episodic memory encoding and retrieval. A large strand of my current work employs simultaneous fMRI with eye-tracking to examine the interactions between age differences in neural selectivity, memory success, and age effects on exploratory eye movements during memory encoding and retrieval.
Before arriving at UT Dallas, I earned my BSc (Hons) in Psychology at The University of Essex in the United Kingdom. Here, I completed a thesis under the supervision of Dr. Vincenzo Romei examining the impact of 10Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation on working memory capacity. Moreover, I worked as a Research assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Vanessa Loaiza where I examined the impact of semantic relatedness on age-related associative binding deficits in working and episodic memory.
I was born and raised in Bratislava, Slovakia. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoors, play with my sweetest dog Kira, tend to my army of house plants, and sometimes I paint and draw too.
