Interests

My research interests are primarily in parameter estimation for cardiac electrophysiology tissue models. I am particulaly interested in which models are most appropriate for simulations given the data available, and have been exploring the potential uses of phenomenological models in this regard. I will be investigating the predictive capabilities of both phenomenological models and biophysically detailed models with reference to a specific experimental preparation provided by collaborators in the Physiology department. I also have interests in stochastic simulations, in particular the extent to which observed temporal variability in action potential duration at single cell level are manifested at a tissue level.
