Biography
As an interventional stroke neurologist, my research has focused on improving the outcomes of endovascular therapy of cerebrovascular disorders through optimizing selection and treatments using available and novel imaging and therapeutic techniques.
My areas of research interest include endovascular thrombectomy, brain aneurysms, and carotid stenosis. I am also interested in studying selective brain hypothermia and its potential neuroprotective effects.
