Research Interests
My primary research explores the use of innovative learning modalities to enhance educational outcomes and develop more effective frameworks in medical and anatomy education. I aim to assess the effectiveness of various teaching strategies, with an emphasis on optimizing student engagement and fostering the development of skills that better prepare future medical professionals.
My secondary research interests are focused on the neuropathology of neurodegenerative movement disorders including Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonisms.
