Teaching Interests
I’m deeply motivated to teach neurology and neurosurgery because these fields combine complex science with the opportunity to make a tangible difference in patients’ lives. I enjoy breaking down intricate neural concepts into clear, practical knowledge that empowers trainees to think critically and act confidently. Sharing this expertise not only strengthens the next generation of clinicians but also continuously enriches my own understanding.

Research Interests
I’m particularly drawn to intracerebral hemorrhage, status epilepticus, and neurologic prognostication because they sit at the intersection of acute decision-making and long-term patient outcomes. These conditions demand rapid, evidence-based interventions while also requiring nuanced judgment about recovery trajectories. Working in these areas allows me to contribute to both lifesaving care and thoughtful guidance for patients and families during critical moments.
