Dr. Agrawal is a surgical innovator, developing the minimally invasive middle fossa implant technique and performing the first BONEBRIDGE implant in North America. Together with his division partners, Drs.

Along with Dr. Hanif Ladak, he is the co-director of the Auditory Biophysics Laboratory (ABL), which has gained international recognition for pioneering work in synchrotron imaging, artificial intelligence and patient-specific cochlear implant programming.
