Research activities
As an interventional stroke neurologist, my research has focused on improving the outcomes of endovascular therapy of cerebrovascular disorders through optimizing selection and threatments using available and novel imaging and therapeutic techniques. My areas of research interest include endovascular thrombectomy, brain aneurysms, carotid stenosis, and cerebral arteriovenous malformation. I am also interested in studying selective brain hypothermia and its neuroprotective effects.
