Research Interests: Pediatric cardiology, developmental cardiovascular physiology, cardiac mechanics, pediatric interventional cardiac catheterization, computer technology in cardiology, heart center administration, medical education, digital technology in learning, bioinformatics.
Summary: Congenital heart disease is extremely common, occurring in about 1% of all births. My goals are to advance our knowledge of heart function in such infants and children, and to develop new methods to treat them, using medicines and catheter based techniques rather than surgery.
