Research interests:

I am an associate professor in clinical neuropsychology at the Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology - NTNU. I am also a member of the Neuropsychological Expert Committee for the Norwegian Psychological Association, NPF.

I obtained my PhD degree in Psychology at the University of Oslo (UiO) in 2012 and completed a five-year specialist education in clinical neuropsychology at NPF in 2014. The main supervisor for my PhD dissertation entitled “Preclinical and Mild Cognitive Impairment: Neuropsychological Profiles and Biomarkers” was Professor Ivar Reinvang. I have successfully combined clinical work as a neuropsychologist and different research positions since 2006. My research focuses on understanding cognitive, emotional and brain changes in mild cognitive impairment, stroke and Alzheimer disease. The main research methods I use include neuropsychological examination, magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. I am the author of several articles published in well-known international journals.

I am the leader of a project that focuses on understanding cognitive and emotional symptoms and related brain changes after stroke. Two PhD students at NTNU / St. Olavs Hospital, who I am the main supervisor for, work on this project together with an interdisciplinary team, including both national and international collaborators. In addition, I am the second supervisor for one PhD student at UiO/ Akershus University Hospital who focuses on cognitive effects of central nervous system depressant (CNSD) medications in hospitalised older patients.

I have particular interests in executive function,  social cognition, emotional symptoms and dementia post-stroke. In addition, I study both correct and incorrect answers on neuropsychological tests and their relation to biomarkers of Alzheimer disease in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Finally, I am interested in risk factors for cognitive and emotional symptoms and their changes over time in patients with diabetes.
