I gained experience in epilepsy surgery from the Maudsley Hospital and thereafter moved on to New Castle to continue my experience in general neurosurgery.Trained in movement disorder surgeries, under Dr. Marwan Hariz and Professor A. Bosch in Umeå (Sweden) and Amsterdam where I performed pallidotomies.Subsequently, I worked with Prof. Benabid and Prof. Alesch, in Grenoble and Vienna to learn the art of deep brain stimulation, surgery.
