As a practicing neuro-oncologist with a background in engineering and software development, I have in interest in pursuits that enmesh biotechnology and medicine to investigate novel interventions for the treatment of nervous system malignancies. This has included bench to bedside projects evaluating aberrations in the electrical activity within the tumor macro- and microenvironment as well as others exploring the use of automation techniques and AI to improve clinical workflow. A priority in my research is the development of highly collaborative, multidisciplinary teams spanning neurology, neurosurgery, radiology, and engineering experts to address complex problems.
Ongoing projects include collation of a multi-investigator database within our brain tumor center to allow for exploration of various data streams for patients, modeling of markers of frailty for treatment selection, semi- and fully-automated MRI segmentation and response assessment, and translational research including clinical trials.
