Research Interests
My clinical interests involve inpatient and outpatient care of patients with neurovascular diseases, mostly ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. I have a particular interest in cervical artery dissection and stroke in the young. My research interests include novel imaging techniques for assessing patients with stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
