How I fell in love with neurological surgery: Being an early adopter of new technologies, I was always fascinated in the application of stereotactic navigation in cranial and spine surgery. I have since developed research interests in the application of artificial intelligence and statistical modeling to improve outcomes in spine care. I relish the opportunity to introduce the most up-to-date technologies and techniques in the way I teach the next generation of neurosurgeons and provide extraordinary clinical care for our patients.
