I am interested in how we can use computational tools to investigate and model the effects of electrical stimulation in the epileptogenic brain network.

Neurostimulation devices deliver electrical current to the brain to modulate neural connections and, for people with drug resistant epilepsy, this can therapeutically alter brain regions responsible for seizure generation and propagation. In my current research, I investigate whether models of neural resonance can be used to predict neurostimulation treatment response.
