My research interests focus on several clinical and basic research topics.  Clinically, my interests include outcomes analysis and decision analysis for patients with the various forms of cerebrovascular and spinal vascular disease along with the treatment paradigms.  This interest also carries over to critical care and trauma management of patients since some vascular pathology is seen in these populations of patients as well.
 
From a more basic science perspective, I have an interesst in the biophysics and mathematics of aneurysm formation.  I have had some experience in AVM hemodynamic studies as well.

Finally, I have an interest in education research, quality metrics and improvement and the history of medicine (specifically anatomy and neurosciences/neurosurgery).
