    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Edilberto Amorim is a critical care neurologist and epilepsy specialist who treats patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, coma, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other critical illnesses.

    He has expertise in neurocritical care, telemedicine, and both non-invasive and invasive brain monitoring. He completed fellowship training in neurocritical care and epilepsy at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital (Harvard Medical School), followed by a postdoctoral training fellowship in neuroscience and machine learning at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

    Dr. Amorim’s research focuses on big data analytics in health care. He has a particular interest in non-invasive and invasive EEG modeling and data integration for multimodal bio-signals time-series in the context of neuroimaging and electronic health care data. He is a board certified neurocritical care physician and epileptologist practicing at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and a Research Affiliate at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT and the Computational Neuroimaging Group at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. Prior to joining UCSF, he was a faculty member at Harvard Medical School.
