Applying machine learning techniques to electronic medical data to delineate novel disease trajectories and develop seizure prediction models to guide the care of neonates and children with epilepsy. Additional research interests include SYNGAP1-related neurodevelopmental disorder and data-driven approaches to identifying candidates for epilepsy surgery.
