About
Biography
My research focuses on the treatment of psychological, psychiatric and nervous disorders. One area of my research involves transcranial magnetic stimulation, which uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
Another research area involves electroconvulsive therapy, which uses electrical currents to cause changes in brain chemistry in an effort to reverse symptoms of some mental illnesses. I am passionate about this line of research because I believe that learning more about the neurologic, biologic and genetic aspects of psychiatric and behavioral disorders will lead to the development of safer, more effective treatments.
