My research interests focus on the cognitive and language development of the child. More specifically, my research program is divided into two parts. 1) Typical language development during early childhood; 2) The cognitive and cerebral effects of various pediatric diseases and syndromes, such as epilepsy, congenital heart disease and prematurity. In my laboratory, we use neuropsychological assessment and brain imaging, including optical imaging (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG), to better understand these pathologies and their effects on brain development, identify predictive markers of neurodevelopmental prognosis and develop pre-surgical assessment techniques that can be used within these populations.
