Research Interests

My research is about the study of brain architecture and how pathological changes in distinct brain circuitries cause different clinical phenotypes. In our current studies, we are mapping the propagation of epileptic discharges in the brain. Our goal is to find individual treatment options for patients with epilepsy and prevent or disrupt the propagation of pathological discharges in the brain of these patients.
