Currently, my research involves discovering and characterizing novel phenotypes associated with mice that have neuronal specific Sirt3 and SOD2 gene deletions, especially those phenotypes associated with neuronal hyper-excitability and excitotoxic cell death and changes in metabolic function. Additionally, I am involved in a clinical project focused on examining changes in the microbiome in epilepsy patients before and after receiving the ketogenic diet and how these changes may be associated with diet efficacy.

In my free time, I enjoy reminding my coworkers to complete their health and safety training, taking long walks on the beach, and wondering why my data looks like that.
