Experience and background

My clinical interests include caring for babies and children with seizures and epilepsy, from first-time seizures to complex, difficult-to-control epilepsy. I have a particular focus on managing status epilepticus, including rare and severe forms such as NORSE (New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus) and FIRES (Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome). In addition, I am interested in advanced treatment approaches, including epilepsy surgery and neuromodulation therapies such as thalamic stimulation, to help improve outcomes and quality of life for children and their families.

For Patients:
My research focuses on epilepsy, with specific interests in refractory status epilepticus, epilepsy surgery—including advanced approaches such as thalamic neuromodulation—and long-term outcomes related to these conditions. My primary focus is on new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) and febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), which are rare but severe disorders. Through multi-center collaboration, I aim to improve recognition, treatment strategies, and patient outcomes for these challenging forms of epilepsy.
