- Gamma Knife peripheral nerve surgery eg carpal tunnel and nerve biopsies
- Intraventricular endoscopy for obstructive hydrocephalus, colloid cyst, Tumour biopsy
- Degenerate spine eg lumbar and cervical disc surgery, management of low back pain
I have worked as Training Programme Director, Neurosurgery , North Thames London and have been a member of specialist advisory committee in Neurosurgery from 2014 to 2017. Currently I am a question writer for the intercollegiate Neurosurgery exam.

I am a Regional Director for Royal College of surgeons (North East London). I also support the college in my roles as an RCS accessor and RCS faculty.
Research interests
I have worked in close collaboration with Professor David Attwell, Ross Nortley and their team on the project of Amyloid beta oligomers constrict human capillaries in Alzheimer's disease via signaling to pericytes.
