Summary
- I am a board-certified neurosurgeon, a scientist, and an expert in neuromodulation. I perform surgeries to stimulate or ablate specific targets in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves to treat patients and enhance their quality of life.
Our research is focused on enhancing neuromodulation’s effectiveness through personalized medicine, decreasing its invasiveness through optimizing less-invasive approaches, and expanding its application through rigorous testing in clinical trials.
