I am a consultant Neurosurgeon at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
My specialist area of practice is epilepsy and functional tumour surgery.
The central themes of my research is integration of multimodality imaging to improve the safety of neurosurgical procedures.
I have been working on integrating tractography images and implementing the visualisation of these into the surgical microscope to prevent neurological deficits.
My other area of interest is implementing robotic assisted surgery for insertion of multiple depth electrodes for epilepsy and brain tumour biopsies
