I lead a multidisciplinary translational neuroscience laboratory that develops novel markers and interventions for neuropsychiatric disorders. Our human studies leverage electroencephalographic, imaging, and physiologic biomarkers to understand vulnerability and recovery from reversible disruptions in consciousness, cognition, and mood. To gain mechanistic insight on the role of sleep, we leverage anesthetics (propofol, ketamine, sevoflurane, and nitrous oxide) as well as non-pharmacologic neuromodulation.

My passion for mentoring is demonstrated at many levels of medical and graduate training. As a tenured faculty member, I have served on doctoral thesis committees for multiple neuroscience and engineering students. I have assisted many of these trainees during their preliminary examinations. I currently serve on advising committees for clinical residents on our research track and for neuroscience PhD students. In my laboratory, my mentorship extends to two junior faculty, multiple postdoctoral clinical trainees, medical students, and undergraduates.
