Research Agenda
My research is dedicated to advancing the field of seizure detection beyond the confines of electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, particularly focusing on the detection of generalized onset seizures. By confronting the inherent limitations of EEG in real-world environments, my endeavors strive to democratize seizure detection by developing lightweight, cost-effective systems accessible to individuals diagnosed with refractory and poorly controlled chronic epilepsy. Through the introduction of novel multimodal seizure detection techniques and technological advancements, my aim is to significantly reduce the false positive rate associated with this area of research. Ultimately, I envision a future where non-EEG systems gain widespread acceptance and utility in clinical applications, heralding a new era of innovation and improved care for epilepsy patients.
