He received his neurology residency training at the Mount Sinai Hospital, followed by a one-year fellowship training in epilepsy/EEG at Mount Sinai.

Dr. Chan is a clinician scientist. He monitors and interprets EEGs for patients in the epilepsy monitoring units, intensive care units, and in ambulatory settings within the Mount Sinai Health System. His clinical focus includes surgical evaluation for the patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and neuromodulation.

Dr. Chan’s research interest includes brain computer interface and neuromodulation. He is eager to study neuromodulation in different neurological disorders, including epilepsy and comorbid depression in epilepsy. His goals are to develop intracranial device technology and utilize other technologies such as 7T MRI to open new treatment strategies for patients. He was awarded an AAN residency research scholarship and T32 postdoctoral fellowship grant and Mount Sinai Advanced Neuroimaging Research Program’s (ANRP) Pilot award for his research.

From an educational standpoint, he has published several podcast episodes with Neurology Minute, in collaboration with the American Academy of Neurology and several of his Mount Sinai colleagues.
