He is the surgical lead for neuro-oncology and has a clinical interest in surgical oncology for gliomas, awake craniotomy and brain mapping, fluorescence guided surgery and patient reported outcomes.

His research interest is in using advanced MRI and PET imaging to understand pathological changes in the tumour and surrounding brain, as well as cognitive outcomes in brain tumour patients.
