Interests:

I am a PGY4 in the Duke University Neurosurgery Residency and am currently spending my research year in a startup medical device/imaging company called Synaptive Medical Inc.working on a variety of clinical research projects in medical imaging, optics, and simulation. I will be returning to Durham for my PGY5 year where I will be continuing my research projects and clinical work. Within my residency I organize the academic endeavors for the resident cohortas well as the departmental quality initiative (QI) protocols for the neurosurgical cranial, spine, and pediatric services.
