I am a cardiothoracic radiologist at University of California Davis with a multidisciplinary background in diagnostic and interventional radiology, cardiology, echocardiography, and advanced cardiovascular imaging. Prior to joining UC Davis, I served as Director of Cardiovascular MRI at Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia (HDZ NRW), one of Europe’s leading cardiovascular centers and among the largest heart transplantation programs. My research focuses on advanced cardiovascular imaging, including cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, quantitative imaging, and artificial intelligence applications in medical imaging. Areas of particular interest include structural heart disease, cardiac amyloidosis, imaging biomarkers, cardiac strain analysis, heart failure, and transcatheter valve interventions. Through multidisciplinary collaborations, I aim to develop and translate innovative imaging approaches that improve diagnosis, risk stratification, and patient outcomes while advancing precision cardiovascular medicine.
