About

Dr. Zulfi Haneef is a leading epileptologist whose work bridges cutting-edge surgical robotics and advanced neurophysiology to transform the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy. His research focuses on improving the precision and safety of neuromodulation therapies, particularly responsive neurostimulation (RNS) and stereotactic electrode placement. A key contribution is his pioneering work on robotic stereotaxy for implanting hippocampal depth electrodes in RNS, demonstrating significant improvements in accuracy and workflow efficiency—a study that has garnered 12 citations and set new standards for minimally invasive epilepsy surgery. Dr. Haneef’s impact extends to elucidating the role of interictal epileptiform discharges and network connectivity in seizure generation, with his highly cited work on EEG-fMRI and graph theory informing how clinicians localize epileptic foci. His achievements include advancing personalized surgical planning and reducing procedural risks, directly benefiting patients with refractory epilepsy. With a growing citation record and a reputation for translating engineering innovations into clinical practice, Dr. Haneef’s research continues to shape the future of neuromodulation and epilepsy care.
