My primary research area is in brain-behavior relationships. I am interested in the brain and the manner in which it influences and interacts with behavior. Another area of great interest to me is the MMPI-2, particularly the standard and supplementary validity scales.

Clinically, I am primarily interested in neuropsychological assessment of brain-injured individuals. There are a number of excellent settings for training in clinical neuropsychology available at UK, including a tertiary care medical center, a VA hospital, a state psychiatric hospital, a private psychiatric facility, a geriatric evaluation center, and the department Psychological Services Center.
