For Patients:
My research is focused on improving clinical outcome for patients by developing new monitoring techniques with electroencephalograms (EEGs) and through Big Data (large multicenter databases).

For Referring Providers:
My research interests are primarily focused on understanding how to improve the care of acutely ill neurological patients. I am developing new tools to evaluate patient's level of encephalopathy and neurological injury by advanced EEG techniques. I am also using large database technology to start understanding the variables that affect the outcomes of our patients with relatively rare diseases.
