I obtained my DrMedVet degree in 1992, and a DrVetSci (PhD equivalent; clinical pharmacology) in 1999, from the University of Liege, Belgium. I completed a residency in anesthesia at the University of California, Davis (1999-2002) and obtained board certification by the ACVAA in 2003. I have since been working at the University of California, Davis, initially as a clinical instructor in anesthesia (2002-2004), then as an Assistant (2004-2007), Associate (2007-2010) and Full Professor (2010-present). I was also appointed as Chair of the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences (2016-present). My research focuses on the clinical pharmacology of anesthetic and analgesic agents, particularly in cats.
