Biography
Jamie Reilly is a translational researcher with expertise in dementia, aging, and memory. Jamie is a clinically licensed speech-language pathologist with doctoral training in cognitive psychology (Temple University) and a postdoctoral research fellowship in cognitive neuroscience (University of Pennsylvania). He was recently featured as an expert on cognitive decline and remote diagnosis of dementia in US politicians (e.g., USA Today, PBS NewsHour) and for his work on cursing in neurological disorders (Slate, Discover Magazine). Jamie is a Full Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Temple University where he directs the Concepts and Cognition Laboratory (visit at https://www.reilly-coglab.com).
Jamie is an associate editor for the Journal of Neuropsychology, and he serves on the editorial boards of several other major journals. He is a regular reviewer for the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). His lab has been the recipient of continuous extramural funding from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIH/NIDCD) for almost two decades.
In addition to research, Jamie is a busy teacher and academic mentor. He teaches courses in human neuroscience, neurocognitive language disorders, and natural language processing. He also routinely publishes peer-reviewed work with students of all levels (BA, MA, PhD). In his spare time, he likes drawing, watercolor painting, photography, and walking his dogs (Fancy and Lola).
