Overview
Outside of medicine, I value spending time with family and friends, and I enjoy being outdoors and traveling. My professional interests lie at the intersection of engineering and surgery, where I focus on developing and refining medical technologies and techniques that enhance safety, precision, and efficiency in neurosurgical care.
