Research Experience
- Studies genetic and induced in vivo animal models of epileptic encephalopathies and temporal lobe epilepsy using cutting-edge electrophysiological recording techniques; aims to decipher how seizures emerge and propagate throughout the brain; uses multi-site chronic in vivo electrophysiology combined with automated sleep and seizure classifying software to identify neuronal circuits responsible for seizure generation and propagation; focuses on seizure causality by modulating the activity of specific brain regions thought to be critical for seizure initiation or spread through pharmacological, genetic, or optogenetic approaches; searches for clinically-translatable biomarkers of neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy; develops circuit-based interventions such as deep brain stimulation or genetic rescue to ameliorate and reverse epilepsy-related pathologies; applies concepts learned from animal model recordings to human EEG to develop clinical biomarkers for diagnosis and disease progression.
Background
- Focused on research in the fields of neuroscience and epilepsy.
