He has co-authored key studies published in Stroke and Seizure. Notable collaborations include work with senior researchers such as Dr. David Liebeskind and Dr. Jeffrey Saver. His work intersects vascular neurology and clinical neurology, addressing both adult and pediatric neurological conditions.

Shih’s research networks include co-authors from UCLA and other UC institutions, with concepts centered on migraine disorders, vascular imaging (e.g., transcranial Doppler ultrasonography), and clinical trial methodologies.
