About
Biography
My primary research focuses on improving clinical outcomes and advancing our understanding of vascular disease, with a particular emphasis on aortic and peripheral artery disease. I am especially interested in the development and evaluation of new endovascular devices and techniques aimed at enhancing safety and durability. I also have a strong interest in healthcare policy and data-driven policy implementation that can have a strong impact in our community. My ongoing studies seek to optimize patient selection, procedural planning and long-term surveillance following complex aortic interventions. Looking ahead, my goal is to bridge clinical practice and innovation by collaborating with industry and academic partners to design and refine next-generation technologies that improve outcomes for patients with vascular diseases.
