🔬 My Research Projects & Publications

Welcome to my research page, and thank you for your interest in my work. I am deeply committed to advancing the field of neurosurgery, with a special focus on deep brain stimulation (DBS), spinal injuries, and minimally invasive spine procedures. My research is driven by the goal of improving patient outcomes, optimizing surgical techniques, and integrating new technologies into clinical practice.

🧠 Current Research Focus

1. Advancements in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

I am exploring the use of DBS for treating movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. My research investigates programming strategies, patient selection criteria, and post-operative outcomes to optimize therapy.

2. Traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries: Predicting Recovery

This project focuses on identifying clinical and imaging biomarkers that predict functional recovery in patients with spinal cord injuries. We aim to personalize rehabilitation and surgical strategies using these insights.

3. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) Techniques

I am evaluating the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques for treating degenerative spine diseases. This includes the use of tubular retractors, endoscopy, and percutaneous fusion technologies.

🤝 Collaborations

I am grateful to collaborate with leading institutions and research teams, including:

  • MUSC – Clinical research and case series.

  • New Jersey B&S – Joint analysis of DBS outcomes.

  • MME Foundation – Data-sharing and education initiatives.

If you're interested in academic collaboration or joint research, I’d love to connect.

🎓 Research Mentorship

I am passionate about supporting the next generation of neurosurgeons and clinician-scientists. I regularly supervise medical students, residents, and fellows on research projects. If you're a student interested in joining my team, please reach out via the Contact page.

Why I No Longer Trust Etihad: A Personal Travel Experience Compared to Air France

✈️ A Personal Travel Experience: Why I’m Choosing Air France Over Etihad I usually travel with Air France , my favorite airline, especially for trips to the USA and Canada . Their service has always been consistent, generous, and respectful — even when I had small issues or extra baggage. But on May 26 , I was flying to Abu Dhabi , and since it wasn’t a usual destination for me, I booked my flight with Etihad Airways — using my Air France miles through their Flying Blue app. At the time of booking, Air France provided me with: 25 kg checked baggage One carry-on One personal item All good so far. But the experience that followed at Cairo Airport (Terminal 2) was something I’ve never encountered in all my years of flying. 😓 The Airport Incident When I arrived at the Etihad counter, I informed the supervisor, Ms. Sama , that I had extra bags already at the airport . These were staff bags I needed to take with me. However, the bags were locked , and airport personnel...
