Carrie Esopenko studies traumatic brain injury (TBI), with particular focus on brain injuries resulting from intimate partner violence and sports-related concussion. Her work examines how head trauma affects brain function, recovery, and mental health, using tools such as brain imaging, vestibular and balance assessments, and questionnaires on trauma history and psychological symptoms. Much of her recent research investigates recovery prognosis after concussion and the intersection of interpersonal violence, PTSD, and brain injury outcomes in women.
