Current Research





The focus of my research career has been interdisciplinary, collaborative, translational research that advances the science and practice of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine. My own research has contributed to 1) advances in scientific understanding, specifically in the areas of wound healing and oxygen delivery and 2) advances in perioperative patient management, specifically related to surgical site infection prevention. In recent years, the reducing the environmental impact of infection control measures, particularly single use disposable devices (e.g., laryngoscopes) and supplies (e.g., gowns), has become the central focus of my work on infection control.
