I enjoy quality time with my family and friends - sharing a meal, playing board games, traveling, watching movie, etc. I also like to play sports such as basketball, volleyball, and ping-pong.
I am interested in neuro-ophthalmology and will complete a neuro-ophthalmology fellowship next year here at the University of Pennsylvania. I am also very interested in continuing my research endeavors, especially in the realm of translational research - understanding the underlying pathogenesis of retinal and neurological diseases and developing potential therapeutic targets or means.

I love trying out the many amazing restaurants in Philadelphia and trying to recreate the best meals. I love traveling abroad and exploring new cities. When I get a chance I try my hand at painting and photography.
My research background is in basic immunology and I'm interested in bringing that to neurology to study the nervous system. I also am very interested in the philosophical underpinnings of perception and cognition and plan on a cognitive neurology fellowship with exposure to brain stimulation.

I enjoy cooking, especially East and Southeast Asian cuisines. My life leveled up when I discovered a Burmese grocery store in South Philly last month. Time away from work is predominantly spent outdoors, be it cycling, climbing or hiking.
My past work has been in global health in Asia. Moving forward, I hope to understand the disparities of neurologic disease burden and improve access to therapies. I have particular interests in neurodegeneration and will complete a cognitive fellowship next year at the University of California-San Francisco Memory and Aging Center.

My personal interests include reading, mainly fantasy but really I will devour anything that comes with a strong recommendation. I also enjoy writing both fiction and creative nonfiction and hope to write about medicine and neurology someday. In my spare time I enjoy board games, escape rooms and playing with my dog, Sirius.
Academically I am interested in medical education and trying to find better ways of training medical students and residents. Clinically, I am interested in movement disorders and will complete a movement disorders fellowship next year here at the University of Pennsylvania.

I enjoy exploring new recipes from the New York Times Cooking section, baking bread, and a good Netflix binge. My puppy Charlie is expectedly full of energy, so playing fetch and teaching him new tricks is becoming a common pastime of mine as well.
Academically, I am interested in medical education, quality improvement, and the intersection of Neurology and Medical Ethics. I enjoy inpatient clinical practice and am considering a career path as a Neurohospitalist after my neurovascular fellowship next year here at the University of Pennsylvania.

I'm a big sports fanatic, particularly of college football (Go Canes). I love cooking all sorts of dishes and also love exploring new restaurants around Philadelphia. I also enjoy running and since moving to Philadelphia I've ran in the Broad Street Run as well as the Rock and Roll Half Marathon. Also, as the good Cuban that I am, I often go salsa dancing with other co-residents/fellows.
From an academic standpoint, I am interested in Huntington's disease, and I will be pursuing a Movement Disorder's fellowship at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Besides a clinical interest in HD, I'm interested in a research career focusing on genetic epidemiology and health outcomes in Huntington's and other movement disorders. I have also been heavily involved in Diversity and Inclusion efforts throughout the years, with an emphasis on health equities education, health care disparities research, as well as residency recruitment efforts. Independent of my research interest, I look forward to continuing an active involvement in diversity and inclusion efforts throughout my career.

I enjoy spending time outdoors, keeping up with recent developments in physics and neuroscience, lifting weights, and listening to music (I generally listen to either rap or classical, oddly enough). I am currently splitting my free time between Philadelphia and New York, where my girlfriend lives, and I enjoy exploring both cities and trying new restaurants whenever I can.
I enjoy various aspects of neuro-ophthalmology, stroke, neuro-critical care, and epilepsy as well as quality improvement. In this context, I have decided to pursue a position at an academic institution as a neurohospitalist immediately after residency.
