Research

Questions before conclusions.

My research interests are still taking shape, with a growing focus on neuroscience, neurosurgery, medical education, and research methodology. I am particularly interested in how thoughtful questions, careful evidence, and better learning systems can influence both medical training and patient care.

At this stage, this section serves as a record of the subjects I am exploring, the research skills I am developing, and the work I hope to pursue more seriously over time.

Interests

Research interests

Areas I keep returning to as my training and experience develop.

Neuroscience and neurosurgery

How the structure and function of the nervous system influence clinical decisions, recovery, and patient outcomes.

Medical education

How medical students understand complex scientific concepts, and how teaching and assessment shape that learning.

Research methodology

Developing the skills to search literature, evaluate evidence, design studies, write academically, and ask meaningful research questions.

Progress

Work and preparation

Current foundations, developing work, and future scholarly activity.

Now

Developing research foundations

Building practical skills in literature searching, evaluating evidence, research methodology, academic writing, and identifying meaningful questions.

Next

Preparing for formal research

Exploring opportunities to contribute to collaborative studies, presentations, and publications as my training and experience develop.
