Tomohiro Yamazoe obtained his medical degree at Mie University, Japan, in 2004. He is a board certified neurosurgeon and clinical epileptologist in Japan. He earned his PhD at Hamamatsu University school of medicine, Japan, in 2015. Around 3 years from
2014, he worked as a staff of general neurosurgeon and epilepsy surgeon at Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital in Japan.
Since September 2017, he joined the group of Dr. Gotman in order to study the strategy using EEG-fMRI and stereotactic EEG for epilepsy surgery.
