I am a board-certified Epileptologist and Clinical Neurophysiologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), where I direct neurological intraoperative monitoring (NIOM) operations.

Clinical practice. My epilepsy practice focuses on the evaluation and management of adults with focal and generalized drug-refractory epilepsy (DRE), including pre-surgical evaluation, stereo-EEG (SEEG) implantation planning, electrocorticography (ECoG), Wada testing, and neurostimulation, including responsive neurostimulation (RNS, NeuroPace), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Intraoperatively, I perform real-time functional brain mapping, motor and language cortex identification, and broad neurophysiologic monitoring across spinal, vascular, and cranial procedures.

Research. I am a principal investigator in seizure detection and digital health, with a focus on combining multimodal peripheral biosignals with intracranial EEG (iEEG). Broader research interests include predictive modeling for seizure detection using digital tools and novel biomarkers, as well as the implementation of novel neurotechnology tools into clinical workflows. I am also interested in the utilization of EEG and quantitative EEG in multimodality monitoring for the care of critically ill patients.

Training and education. I completed neurology residency and served as Chief Resident at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, followed by a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology encompassing EEG and NIOM. I hold an MS degree in Clinical Research Methods from the NIH-funded Clinical Research Training Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) in Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology. I supervise trainees at all levels and have received multiple institutional teaching awards.
