My main clinical interest focuses on the care of patients with severe trauma or non-traumatic emergency surgical conditions. My elective practice includes complex hernia repairs and robotic surgery. My research revolves around trauma and emergency surgery issues with emphasis on: a) innovative methods of bleeding control and b) outcome prediction via artificial intelligence algorithms.
