His research is primarily focused on memory changes throughout the lifespan, particularly memory for contextual details.  Additionally, Dulas\u2019 work investigates changes in alterations of brain activity during memory tasks, using both electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging. His most recent research is funded by the American Federation for Aging Research and looks at how we can improve memory in older adults through the use of cognitive strategies.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu\/people_pages\/MZhu.html\u0022\u003EM\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu\/people_pages\/MZhu.html\u0022\u003Eengchen Zhu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E is a doctoral student in Biomedical Engineering.
