With specialization and board certifications in Neurology, Clinical Neurophysiology, and Clinical Informatics, my aim is to not only provide high quality neurological care, but also to optimize modern healthcare delivery through clinical informatics.

My primary clinical interest is in-patient EEG monitoring, and neuro-modulation devices. My research is an extension of my clinical interest where I combine quantitative EEG and machine learning to augment EEG interpretation and seizure detection.
