If not for neurology, I would have been an engineer. As it currently stands, however, I am a physician completing a residency in child neurology at University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Rady Children’s Hospital. I graduated with an MD/PhD in 2018 after a masochistic, eight-year quest at Loma Linda University, also in California. My PhD work involved lipid regulation and neurodegeneration and was completed in the laboratory of Dr. Salvador Soriano.
While residency and an unexpected global pandemic put somewhat of a damper on things over the past few years, I hope to continue pursuing research throughout my career. In particular, I am interested in the application of machine learning strategies to eletroencephalographic data for the localization and treatment of seizures.
Outside of my explicit career foci, my range of interest is broad and includes an eclectic mix of topics such as computer servers, LEGO bricks, and artwork of marginal quality. I enjoy writing and began sharing some of it online in 2004 in what evolved into the current form of this site.
Thank you for visiting.
