Dr. Hundal is a Board Certified Clinical Neuropsychologist and sees a range of neurological patient populations, but has a special interest in acquired brain injuries and dementias. He works with local and regional partners across a range of specialties to improve diagnostic accuracy as well as to devise tailored treatment plans to maximize neurocognitive recovery and improve patient and caregiver quality of life.

Dr. Hundal maintains close ties with Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and has a clinical faculty appointment at the rank of Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology. He continues to maintain active research at Rutgers through partnerships with neurology and neurosurgery. 

Dr. Hundal’s has research in many areas, but primarily focuses on neurorehabilitation and technology. He is well published in virtual reality based cognitive rehabilitation systems for individuals with acquired neurological and degenerative disorders. Additional areas of interest include mapping language networks to inform epilepsy and tumor surgeries. 

Dr. Hundal is also involved in multicultural neuropsychology and has projects in the pipeline to evaluate the neurocognitive needs of Indian Americans and other South Asian immigrants living in the United States. Dr. Hundal’s research is supported by the NIH and private organizations.
