Research
Focus
- I am working to develop a stroke model in Rhesus monkeys for optimizing acute stroke imaging techniques and neuroprotective measures. We are also developing computational simulation of human cerebral aneurysms with Georgia Tech researchers. Clinical research evaluates new endovascular devices and techniques such as intracranial stenting and cerebral aneurysm treatment.
