Research Focus
Dr. Duke Han's lab at the University of Southern California focuses on understanding how cognitive decline in older adults can lead to poor financial decision making and increased risk of financial exploitation. The lab studies the relationship between brain health, particularly regions affected in Alzheimer's disease, economic behavior, and cognitive impairment in the aging population. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, the lab aims to develop better early detection and intervention strategies for cognitive health issues in older adults.
