I completed Dr. DB Gupta/EAN research experience fellowship 2016 in the Epilepsy center (Epilepsihospitalet) Filadelfia, Dianalund, Denmark under Professor Sandor Beniczky.

The chief of the neurology department at Unna Evangelical Hospital, Prof. Zaza Katsarava ( Professor of Neurology at the University of Essen) kindly accepted my attendance  at his department. The Evangelical Hospital in Unna is a multiprofile hospital, with a 75 bed inpatient department of Neurology.
