Biofluids Research Group
The focus of my current work is to study the feasibility of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients and analyze the risk of post-TAVR complications in these patients using patient-specific finite element modeling and computational fluid dynamics simulation. In addition, I focus on clinical and in-vitro validation of these in-silico models, which is tremendously helpful for pre-procedural planning for TAVR procedure, specially in BAV patients

Academic ProjectsStony Brook University, Senior Design Project
The goal of our project was to develop an affordable, low-energy, wearable, and wireless ECG monitor that can accurately identify cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation as well as display heart rate and heart rate variability. We also developed an iOS app to connect our ECG monitor to iPhones via bluetooth |
Stony Brook University, Engineering Graphics and CAD Project
In this project we designed different parts of a unicycle, assembled them and created a simulation using Unigraphics NX 8.5 (Simulation Link) |
