Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

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.


Care Philosophy

I listen carefully to every child and family, making sure your questions and concerns are heard. Together, we work as a team to support your child’s health and help them live their happiest, healthiest life.

Research Interests 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.
