Aimee F. Luat

Aimee F. Luat, MD is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at Wayne State University School of Medicine and a board-certified pediatric neurologist and epileptologist at Children's Hospital of Michigan. She serves as the medical director of the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Program and the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) clinic at Children's Hospital of Michigan, as well as the program director of the Pediatric Epilepsy Fellowship Program.

Dr. Luat completed her undergraduate studies at Manila Central University, College of Arts and Sciences in the Philippines (B.S. 1990) and earned her medical degree from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila (M.D. 1994, Cum Laude). Her clinical training includes pediatric and medical internships at Children's Hospital of Michigan and University of Santo Tomas Hospital, pediatric neurology and adult neurology residencies at Detroit Medical Center, and fellowships in neurophysiology and pediatric neurology.

Dr. Luat's research focuses on the intersection of clinical epilepsy features with advanced diagnostic modalities including brain MRI, PET scans, and EEG. Her clinical and research interests particularly emphasize epilepsies associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, Sturge-Weber syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. Her work bridges cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques with practical clinical applications for pediatric epilepsy patients.

Analysis of Dr. Luat's publications reveals a strong focus on pediatric epilepsy, particularly in the areas of surgical treatment, neuroimaging applications, and specialized epilepsy syndromes. Her research spans both clinical practice guidelines and fundamental neurophysiological investigations, with recent work emphasizing high-frequency oscillations, functional brain connectivity, and multidisciplinary approaches to complex epilepsy cases.

Dr. Luat has contributed to significant consensus statements in her field, including guidelines for Sturge-Weber syndrome management. Her publications appear in prestigious journals such as Clinical Neurophysiology, NeuroImage, and Pediatric Neurology.

As program director of the Pediatric Epilepsy Fellowship Program, Dr. Luat plays a key role in training the next generation of pediatric epileptologists. Her leadership positions in the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Program and TSC clinic demonstrate her expertise in specialized areas of pediatric neurology.
