Overview
My research in biomedical simulation and high-performance computing focuses on the development of new computational tools that we use to provide insight into the localization and development of human diseases ranging from atherosclerosis to cancer.

Photon-Counting CT for Evaluation of Coiled Intracranial Aneurysms.
Journal Article AJNR Am J Neuroradiol · April 2, 2026 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intracranial aneurysms treated with endovascular embolization often require surveillance imaging using DSA, an invasive, risky, and expensive procedure. Existing noninvasive imaging modalities (standard or MRA) are often unsatisfact ...

Journal Article Journal of Computational Science · April 1, 2026 Explicitly resolving ligand–receptor interactions of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) across anatomically realistic vasculature remains computationally prohibitive at the submicrometer fidelity required for adhesive dynamics. In this work, we extend our prev ... Full text CiteReal-Time Peripheral Revascularization Planning in Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia Using HarVI: A Digital Twin Approach.
Journal Article Cardiovascular engineering and technology · March 2026 BackgroundPeripheral artery disease (PAD) is a leading cause of limb loss and morbidity worldwide, with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) representing its most severe presentation. Although image-guided endovascular interventions are routin ... Full text Open Access CiteRecent Grants
