Education

Doctorate, Biomedical Engineering
  • at Montreal University, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal
  • April 2001

Montreal University, EcolePolytechnique de Montréal, Canada Modeling & Simulation Research Group Thesis project: "Three Dimensional Modeling and simulation of Wave Propagation in Cardiac Tissue". A study on the effect of reentrant activity on the cardiac rhythm for application in the treatment of arrhythmias. The focus is on modeling and optimization techniques of propagation in an inhomogeneous medium. These techniques include approaches used to solve the problem, reduction of CPU time, discretization procedures, and structure complexity.
