Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery (Research)

Overview

My research in the Department of Neurosurgery is focused on developing improved treatments for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Toward this goal, I study human behavior and associated neural mechanisms, while using neuromodulation to study novel stimulation paradigms and to causally affect neural activity. We record and analyze single neurons and local field potentials from the human brain both during surgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode placement as well as outside of the operating room. We utilize computational and statistical modeling, along with explainable machine learning approaches throughout our work to improve our understanding of the brain.
