Bio
After completing my fellowship at Stanford, my research has predominantly focused on refining preventive and therapeutic strategies for managing patients with postpartum hemorrhage. Overlapping research interests include: investigations of point-of-care devices for assessing maternal hematologic and coagulation profiles. I have also performed large population-wide studies examining: modes of obstetric anesthesia and analgesia, and maternal morbidity during and after delivery.
