I am a Research Faculty member at Georgia Institute of Technology.

I received my PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Florida. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I was a post-doctoral research associate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working in the Carolina Center for Neurostimulation (spun off from Frohlich Lab).

It can be challenging to create a treatment plan for depression. This is especially true for patients who aren’t responding to conventional treatments and are undergoing experimental therapies such as deep brain stimulation. For most medical conditions, doctors can directly measure the part of the body that is being treated, such as blood pressure for cardiovascular disease. These measurable changes serve as an objective biomarker of recovery that provides valuable information about how to care for these patients.
