Research interests

1. Quantify hemodynamic alterations as indices of morbidity after surgical or transcatheter treatments for congenital diseases
 
2. Characterize interactions between altered hemodynamics from stenting or atherosclerosis and the development of neointimal hyperplasia and thrombus 
 
3. Immersive virtual reality systems for visualization of computational fluid dynamics results and science, technology, math and engineering education
 
4. Design and implement novel engineering devices and interventions for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, particularly in children
 
5. Develop tools for predictive surgical or interventional treatment planning
