Abdulrahman Alwaki,

Dr. Abdulrahman Alwaki has a profound understanding of the intricate workings of the human brain, particularly in the realm of epilepsy and its treatment. As an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Neurology University of Pittsburgh-Bradford, Dr. Alwaki dedicates his career to advancing the field of neurology through both teaching and research. His specialization in epilepsy, clinical neurophysiology, and EEG has positioned him as a leading figure in the study and treatment of neurological disorders. Dr. Alwaki has conducted extensive research on the outcomes of epilepsy surgery, with a particular focus on SEEG (stereoelectroencephalography) and neuromodulation. His work in brain mapping has contributed significantly to the understanding of how surgical interventions can be optimized to improve patient outcomes. He is deeply involved in several high-profile research projects, serving as the site Principal Investigator on the Epilepsy Post Approval Study (DBS EPAS) and as a co-investigator on both the SLATE study, which explores laser ablation for medial temporal lobe epilepsy, and the RNS Post Approval Study (RNS PAS). His research interests are broad yet focused, encompassing epilepsy surgery outcomes, SEEG, neuromodulation, and brain mapping research. Dr. Alwaki's commitment to these areas is evident in his active participation in numerous professional organizations, where he collaborates with fellow experts to push the boundaries of current neurological knowledge and practice. Dr. Alwaki holds board certifications in Neurology, Clinical Neurophysiology, and Epilepsy, underscoring his expertise and dedication to the field. His academic involvement is not limited to research; he is also a passionate educator, committed to training the next generation of neurologists. His students benefit from his wealth of knowledge and his ability to translate complex neurological concepts into accessible learning experiences. In addition to his academic and research pursuits, Dr. Alwaki is known for his compassionate approach to patient care. He believes in a holistic approach to treatment, considering not only the physical but also the emotional and psychological aspects of living with epilepsy. His patients appreciate his dedication to improving their quality of life through both innovative treatments and empathetic care. Dr. Alwaki's contributions to the field of neurology are both significant and ongoing. His work continues to influence the way epilepsy is understood and treated, making a lasting impact on both his patients and the broader medical community.
