- Research Interests
- My research is focused in lung health and its association with cognitive outcomes. Using large population-based cohorts, we are investigating how functional and structural pulmonary measures are associated with cognitive performance. Additionally, I am interested in the epidemiology of COPD and how the presence of cognitive dysfunction may impact prospective COPD outcomes like acute COPD exacerbations and health care utilization.
