Research
Overview
My current research interest is identification, quantification, and mitigation of perioperative complications. Shifting the paradigm of preoperative risk assessment to a precise, individualized and patient centered approach is one of my areas of research interest. In addition, I am interested in estimation and characterization of perioperative pulmonary complications, particularly in the care of previously neglected medical populations.
