Pedro Viana

King’s College London

Pedro is a Neurologist and a PhD candidate from Lisbon, Portugal. He obtained his medical master’s degree from the Lisbon Faculty of Medical Sciences, and trained in clinical Neurology at the Department of Neurosciences and Mental Health in Santa Maria Hospital. While his clinical work has focused on Epileptology and Clinical Neurophysiology, his current research focuses on the feasibility and clinical potential of ultra long-term subcutaneous EEG recordings in people with epilepsy.
