Current Activities, Research, Subspecialty or Professional Interests
I am board certified in both Neurology and Epilepsy and have been practicing epilepsy since 2013 as a clinical assistant professor affiliated with Michigan State University. I also practice outpatient general neurology one day a week.
My interests are intractable epilepsy, epilepsy surgery, and Non-epileptic paroxysmal episodes.
Due to high volume of patients with Non-epileptic seizures associated with Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) and psychosomatic comorbidities in our community, my current focus is to understand the mechanisms and different treatment approaches in diagnosis and management of such disorders.

Reading, spending time with family and family gatherings, travelling
