We would like to congratulate Vaisakh Puthusseryppady for being offered, and accepting an assistant professorship at Tilburg University in the School of Social & Behavioral Sciences! Starting in September 2024 as a Assistant Professor of Cognitive Psychology, Vaisakh plans on developing a research program specifically looking at the early identification of Alzheimer’s disease using spatial navigation as a behavioral biomarker, as well as developing cognitive training interventions to improve navigation ability in the aging population.
Vaisakh has been studying aspects of Alzheimer’s disease identification and navigation ability in the midlife-older populations since starting his postdoctoral position here in the Spatial Neuroscience Lab in 2021.
We’re excited to see his future findings and wish him the best at Tilburg University in the fall!
