Michael Windsor

My Fulbright research will study the impact of place on the development of Alzheimer's disease by tracking the health of elderly Americans over the course of multiple decades.

Michael is a PhD candidate at Curtin University studying the different ways how where we live affect our lives, looking at how it impacts factors as varied as obesity to trust.

Michael’s Fulbright project involves working with Associate Professor Xi Chen at Yale University on the place determinants of Alzheimer’s disease to determine whether it is more important who you are or where you are. This research will produce important findings for both Australia and the United States due to our rapidity aging populations.
