Current Research Interests

My research interests include the development of a statistical, physiologic brain atlas based on novel image registration technology, and its application in deep brain stimulation (DBS)targeting and programming for the treatment of movement disorders. I'm also interested in advancing the application of DBS for the treatment of other neurologic and psychiatric diseases.
