    Research Overview

    I am interested in the application of anesthesiology to the field of consciousness science and psychological wellbeing, e.g., in the therapeutic potential of psychedelic compounds. I also take an interest in the scientific study of happiness and quality of life; on which topics I have presented at grand rounds to multiple departments.
