Biography


After completing my fellowship at Stanford, my research has predominantly focused on refining preventive and therapeutic strategies for managing patients with postpartum hemorrhage. Overlapping research interests include: investigations of point-of-care devices for assessing maternal hematologic and coagulation profiles. I have also performed large population-wide studies examining: anesthesia interventions and maternal complications during labor and delivery.
