Research Summary
I am active in clinical research projects especially related to new devices and techniques for endovascular treatment of brain aneurysms, brain and spine vascular malformations, and stroke. Additionally I participate in multi-institutional registries and collaborative projects for neurovascular care. These projects range from basic science work to clinical care. Finally, I have an interest in studying neurovascular care at the level of population medicine, healthcare delivery, and emphasizing fiscal responsibility.
