    Collapse Overview
    I am a Headache specialist who sees patients at the UCSF Headache Center. I have expertise in the management of migraine, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias including cluster headache, and other rare headache disorders. I also have expertise in inpatient treatments of headache.

    I completed my medical degree at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. During medical school, I spent 2 years at the National Institutes of Health doing stroke imaging research as part of the Clinical Research Training Program. I completed my Neurology training and Headache fellowship at UCSF. I then worked as a Specialty Doctor in Headache at King’s College Hospital in London, UK in the National Health Service. After spending a few years as a Senior Research Fellow at University College London, I returned to the UCSF Headache Center in 2023.

    Currently, my focus is on clinical care. In the past, my research interests have included functional neuroimaging studies in migraine and machine learning applications in both clinical and hospital operational domains.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
