Assistant Professor – Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology
Epilepsy places a heavy burden on the wellness of our patients and their families. As member of the wonderful team of epileptologists, advanced practice providers, support clinicians, and trainees, I strive to improve seizure control, comorbidities, and ultimately quality of life for my patients. We aim to provide the highest quality clinical care through a multifaceted approach – including targeted pharmacotherapy, neuropsychological comorbidity management and support, and (when applicable) surgical intervention or neurostimulator.
Clinical Interests
- Status epilepticus diagnosis and treatment; refractory epilepsy management, including complex pharmacotherapy and epilepsy surgery; pre-surgical evaluations for epilepsy surgery; neuropsychiatric comorbidities in epilepsy.
Procedures and Research Interests
- Procedures: Continuous video electroencephalography (EEG) in the EMU and ICU settings, ambulatory EEG, stereo electroencephalography (SEEG), Electrocorticography (ECoG), WADA testing, intraoperative neuromonitoring, neurostimulation (VNS, RNS, DBS) and evoked potentials.
- Research: Status epilepticus treatment and outcomes; development of epileptic networks in patients with focal epilepsy; cognitive and neuropsychological outcomes of epilepsy surgery; quantitative EEG in critical care monitoring.
