Research Interests

My research interests within the field of vascular neurology are varied and ever-expanding. I am interested in stroke mechanisms for different and less-studied patient populations (i.e. young adults with stroke), healthcare disparities, carotid artery disease and interventions, and the development of decision aids for patients.
