Caring for children and their families each day is a privilege. I practice child neurology at Washington University in St. Louis/St. Louis Children's Hospital. When not in clinic, I research the effects of neurological disorders on the brain using functional MRI.
If you're a patient trying to reach my office:
When it's time to recharge, there's nothing better than spending time outdoors with my wife Amanda! Whether it's a hike in Rockwoods Reservation or working in our backyard garden, we love spending time in nature.
So little time.
I am a child neurologist at Washington University in St. Louis/St. Louis Children's Hospital. My clinical interests are in concussion, ADHD, headache, epilepsy, and conversion disorder.
My lab is in the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology where I use functional MRI and statistics/machine learning to understand the link between neurological disorders and cognition.
I code in Rust, Python, Matlab, and C++ for fun and for science. Check out my projects on Github.
I am so lucky to be married to Dr. Amanda Zerkel! Amanda is a veterinarian at the Humane Society in Maryland Heights, where you can get care for your pet or adopt an animal in need.
Be it over trail, on the water, or underwater, it's great to be outdoors! Most weekends you can find Amanda and I hiking near Rockwoods Reservation or helping out on her parents' hobby farm.
Savory or sweet, domestic or international, cooking or baking, I have a special place in my heart (and stomach) for food.
I love meeting new people, but I'm too old fashioned for social networking.
