Sharon is a cognitive neuroscientist, with an interest in language and memory across the lifespan. She is studying cognitive processing and impairments following brain damage, using neuropsychological testing and brain imaging techniques.

Sharon joined ARU as a Senior Lecturer in 2022. Prior to this, she worked at University College London as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, first at the Institute of Child Health, and then at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Neuroimaging.

She works with both paediatric and adult populations, combining structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with neuropsychological testing.
