Summary

I am an MD equivalent physician from India and an ECFMG certified postdoctoral fellow at Yale University in the Epilepsy Division. My research focuses on epilepsy surgery outcomes, with a particular emphasis on deep brain stimulation for refractory epilepsy. I have expertise in MATLAB, including channel selection, script optimization, and advanced signal processing and analysis for intracranial EEG and related neurophysiologic data. I am adept at patient care and wound closure, work effectively alongside surgeons, and maintain a strong commitment to ethical standards and clinical practice with a focus on surgical procedures. I am dedicated to continuously enhancing my medical knowledge and delivering high quality patient care through collaboration and lifelong learning.
