Marrium Mansoor

Marrium is a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Human Development and Family Science at Virginia Tech. She is currently finishing her Ph.D. in Human Development with a concentration in Adult Development and Aging with an expected graduation in Spring 2026.

Marrium's research primarily examines cognitive development across the lifespan, focusing on how biological, experiential, and behavioral factors influence trajectories, particularly throughout adulthood. Within this framework, she is also interested in investigating how interventions might offset normative and non-normative cognitive aging processes to slow decline. Extending this work on cognitive function to underrepresented populations is a key priority for her. She is excited by innovative data collection methods, including Ecological Momentary Assessments, and seeks to advance the research on cognitive development through interdisciplinary studies.
