I have worked on the epilepsy surgery programs at the Radcliffe Infirmary Oxford and the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery London since 1995. I am currently working as a Consultant Neuropsychologist on the epilepsy surgery program at the Institute of Neurology. I have over 80 academic publications in epilepsy, including books, book chapters and journal articles.

 My research interests are focused on memory and epilepsy. A neuropsychological assessment is a long and often stressful procedure for a person with epilepsy to undertake. I am committed to ensuring that the results of these investigations are utilised for the maximum possible benefit for every patient, particularly in the pre-surgical setting. It is this commitment to evidence based practise that drives my research endeavours.

 I serve on the the editorial boards of Epilepsia, Epilepsy & Behavior, Epilepsy & Behavior:Case Reports and Epilepsy Professional. I also currently serve on the ILAE Diagnostic Commission. I also regularly review research grant applications for the Wellcome Trust, Brainwave, Epilepsy Research UK and other international grant giving bodies.
