Description of Clinical Expertise
I have clinical expertise in child neurology and headache. I see a range of primary and secondary headache disorders with a particular focus on post-traumatic headache. I am certified in peripheral nerve block procedures for the acute treatment of headache, and onobotulinum toxin A chemodenervation for the treatment of chronic headache.Description of Research Expertise
I have research expertise in visual neuroscience including encoding of visual information in neural networks, modeling of neural networks, and visual signal processing using perceptual and electrophysiologic metrics. I have experience in computer software programing using Matlab coding language. I am developing expertise in clinical research, and specifically biomarker study design for clinical trial use, particularly related to concussion and headache in pediatric populations.Selected Publications
