Biography
I received my MD degree from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in Mashhad, Iran. I earned a Master's degree in Biomedical and Translational Sciences from the University of California Irvine in 2014. After I graduated, I started working as a junior research specialist. Under the mentorship of the principle investigator, Dr. Yama Akbari, I studied the mechanisms of coma and the role of Orexin in neurological recovery following cardiac arrest and resuscitation. I then completed my neurology residency at UC Irvine Department of Neurology in 2020, followed by a Vascular Neurology fellowship in 2021. In July 2021, I moved to Albuquerque to join the University of New Mexico School of Medicine as an assistant professor of Neurology.
Few words about me: I am a vascular neurologist. I completed my neurology residency and vascular neurology fellowship at UC Irvine. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, reading, and watching movies.
Personal Statement
I chose vascular neurology because the timely diagnosis and management of acute stroke can greatly impact patients' quality of life.
