Biography

Research

My primary research projects are
1. Relating symptomatic treatments to Parkinson’s disease patient outcomes and self-reported symptom burden
2. Using digital tools (e.g., smartphone applications, sensors) to measure drug pharmacodynamics, disease progression, and clinically-meaningful outcomes/events (e.g., time to treatment, falls, cognitive impairment)
