MSc Student
Salma joined the lab in summer of 2022. She completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. The research she is currently looking at is focused on mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is a transition state between normal cognition and dementia. She is interested in understanding if gait can be used to differentiate the different types of cognitive impairment in people with MCI, and help predict the risk of developing different dementia subtypes in these individuals.
In the lab, Salma currently helps out with many data collections for other studies, learning more about different tools to collect data. In the future she hopes to continue doing research in the neurodegeneration space.
