My primary interests lie in comprehending the neural underpinnings of states of consciousness in both humans and animals. Initially, my focus was on delving into the mechanisms of sleep and the neurobiology of depression. During my time as a medical student, I engaged in animal research endeavors. Subsequently, I embarked on a residency program in Nuclear Medicine, providing me with the opportunity to conduct research involving human patients. My expertise spans a wide array of techniques, ranging from neuronal recording, labeling, and intracranial field potentials to non-invasive EEG and Molecular Imaging.
​
Currently, I am pursuing a multidisciplinary and translational approach to explore the neuronal dynamics of consciousness states, particularly during wakefulness and sleep stages, and how these dynamics are influenced by anesthetics and psychedelics.
