Biography

Research primarily focused on developing and validating techniques for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). The ultimate aim of IOM is to contribute to increased surgical safety and decreased neurological complications during surgical procedures involving the nervous system at risk of injury. IOM assists surgeons in integrating neurological function and anatomy throughout the surgery, providing recurrent feedback on the functional status of the monitored pathways. With the help of IOM, surgeons can customize procedures to the needs and challenges faced at any given moment during the surgery, improving outcomes. A particular area of interest is intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEP), where MEPs are acquired under anesthesia, examining their behavior and clinical significance in patients who are awake versus sedated. Understanding the technical complexities and limitations in eliciting MEP under anesthesia and the clinical significance of the recordings is crucial for validating IOM and ensuring safe application. He has played a leading role in the development of this field, studying and testing IOM techniques and protocols, as well as educating and training professionals in the discipline. His work has significantly contributed to the basic development of multifaceted clinical implementations of IOM techniques and technologies. In recent years, he has focused on promoting the validation of commonly used IOM techniques and improving intraoperative neurophysiological education.
