Overview
My patients have motivated me to be involved in clinical research. My interests spans areas such as identification of biomarkers in epilepsy, pre-surgical evaluation in epilepsy including stereoEEG and drugs/ device trials in epilepsy. Given my background in biomedical engineering, I have a special interest in Neuromodulation including deep brain stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, use of Artificial intelligence/machine learning on EEGs as well as developing novel device therapies for use in epilepsy care.
