Modulating Arrhythmogenic Reentrant Circuits with Engineered Biomaterials
I was born and raised in northern Arizona with three younger brothers. My hobbies include basketball, guitar, and reading. I wish I could travel to see more of the world, I am driven to explore the mysteries of our universe, and consider the gym my second home. Volunteering my time and energy is a great privilege, and I hope to use my life to improve the lives of those with cardiovascular disease.
