About

Background

Draft bio — rewrite in your voice

I'm a physician specializing in neuroanesthesia, regional anesthesia, and acute pain medicine at NYU Langone in New York.

I trained in anesthesiology and neuroanesthesia at Johns Hopkins, where I also worked in simulation education and curriculum design, and completed a regional anesthesia fellowship at UC San Diego.

These days most of my teaching energy goes into intraoperative EEG: helping clinicians see what the raw signal is telling them about the patient's brain, beyond a single processed number.
