Briefly describe your research. Why is it important?
My research focuses on different ways of treating life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Our efforts have led to important collaborations with the Department of Radiation Oncology to develop a non-invasive way to irradiate harmful circuits in the heart similar to the way a tumor received radiation. This therapy has the potential to represent a non-invasive option for those with dangerous arrhythmias.
