He obtained his medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in 2022 and maintains an active faculty position with no indication of part-time status or retirement.

His research spans psychiatric epidemiology, neurostimulation therapies, and complex psychiatric disorders. Primary interests include:

• Schizophrenia & Psychotic Disorders: Focusing on treatment resistance, clozapine optimization, and cognitive symptom management using transcranial stimulation.
• Substance Use & Emergency Psychiatry: Analyzing national trends in opioid use disorder, benzodiazepine prescribing, and emergency department utilization for self-harm.

His publications (2022-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on large-scale data analysis from national surveys (e.g., NHAMCS, NIS) to identify clinical patterns in understudied populations. Recent work explores neurostimulation efficacy, pharmacological interventions for aggression, and methodological rigor in addiction research.
