About Dr Eva Pettemeridou

Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology
Program Director of the BSc in Psychology

 
EXPERTISE

My research interests revolve around the intersection of clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroscience, particularly focusing on acquired brain injury (ABI) and its impact on cognition, neural functions and quality of life. I employ a variety of methodologies, including neuroimaging and computational techniques, to investigate the neural substrates of cognitive processes and psychosocial functioning, including self-awareness, executive functions, and quality of life.
