My prior experience has been in Schools of Medicine where I worked as a neurosurgeon reaching the professor level with a focus on cerebrovascular disease and skull base problems. At Indiana University School of Medicine, I was the Director of Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Surgery in the Department of Neurological Surgery. At the end of December, 2012, I retired from clinical neurosurgery and have devoted my time and efforts to basic science research. I have now moved to the Department of Molecular Neuroscience at the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study. This opportunity will provide me with a rich environment to pursue my research in developmental evolutionary neurobiology and as well as give me an opportunity to teach a graduate level course in neuroanatomy. After the Provost dissolved the Molecular Neuroscience Department in June, 2016, I joined the Bioengineering Department. I remain an investigator at the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study. I moved West in May of 2018 and have joined the bioengineering department at the University of Utah where I will be an adjunct Professor.
