I received my M.D. and Ph.D. from University of Tokyo, Japan. My Ph.D. research was in application of cardiac electromechanics to assess the substrate for sudden cardiac death. I joined Johns Hopkins in July 2012 as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Engineering.

My research background includes cardiac electromechanical mapping, cardiovascular MRI/CT, mathematical modeling, cardiac biomechanics, and image-guided diagnosis and intervention. I have extensive experience in MATLAB for data analysis, biological signal processing, image processing, and computational modeling.

I am particularly interested in dynamics of complex networks and its application to the cardiac conduction system. I believe that elucidation of how complex networks of cardiac conduction system that connect individual cells contributes to the pathogenesis of complex arrhythmia will allow us to modulate cardiac conduction system pharmacologically or invasively to improve clinical outcomes. I am also happy to share my expertise with other participants. I look forward to learning from and receiving intellectual input from the experts at the Santa Fe Institute and other participants of the Summer School. Website
