Major Research Theme
I am interested in various applications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor and dystonia. Specific items of investigation include durability of motor response to DBS, use of wireless accelerometry to capture correlates of clinical ratings scales for tremor and Parkinson's disease and exploring novel DBS targets for severe tremor.
