Research Interests

My scholarly pursuits encompass advancements within the cardiac catheterization laboratory, with a focus on cutting-edge technologies such as 3D fusion imaging, 3D printing derived from 3D rotational angiograms, and the integration of Virtual/Extended Reality in catheterization procedures. Additionally, I am deeply interested in exploring a low-radiation approach for complex percutaneous interventions, aiming to reduce contrast and fluoroscopy exposure for both patients and catheterization laboratory personnel. Furthermore, my research aims to develop of alternative imaging modalities tailored for intricate congenital heart diseases (CHD) like pulmonary vein stenosis. I am dedicated to exploring systematic management strategies, encompassing both medical and interventional approaches, to address the complexities associated with pulmonary vein stenosis in CHD patients.
