    Mass General Brigham/Harvard Medical School

    I’m the inaugural Mass General Brigham spine surgery fellow in the Department of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School, with dual appointments at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. My surgical interests cover all aspects of spine surgery and, in particular, minimally invasive and endoscopic spine.

    My academic work focuses on integrating artificial intelligence into clinical care—from informed consent to voice reconstruction for patients with neurological conditions. As a recipient of OpenAI’s Exceptional Health Research Grant, I collaborate on AI tools for patient communication and safety. Our research has appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine’s NEJM AI, JAMA Surgery, and Nature’s npj Digital Medicine, and processes we’ve developed now support informed decision‑making for tens of thousands of patients each year. This work has been recognized at the White House and featured by the Associated Press, NBC Nightly News, and The New York Times.

    I’m grateful for remarkable mentors at every stage of training, and I’m always open to collaboration at the frontiers of AI and spine surgery.
