Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Harvey's research interests fall in the statistical analysis of complex correlated data, such as those that arise from longitudinal or neuroimaging studies. She also has interest in developing approaches for comparison of biomarkers. The majority of her collaborative research falls in the area of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases and how neuroimaging can help identify individuals in the earliest stages of disease. However, she is also involved in projects involving neuroimaging in children, young adults, and rodents.
