About me

  • Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

I treat cerebrovascular disease through microsurgical and endovascular techniques. I am passionate about treating stroke, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and cavernous malformations. I strive to treat these in the optimal manner, whether that is through open surgery, endovascular intervention, or non-surgical management. Whenever possible, I will use a minimally invasive technique to preserve function and improve recovery. I also run a translational research lab where I study these same diseases, so I am continuously learning from my patients and exploring new frontiers for therapy.
