Peter Spector

Peter Spector is a Professor of Medicine and Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Vermont. He is a practicing clinician specializing in treating abnormal heart rhythms, particularly atrial fibrillation, through catheter-based interventions. His research focuses on computational modeling of cardiac electrophysiology, electrode array design, and clinical cardiac mapping technologies. Spector is the founder and President of VisibleEP and CoreMap, companies developing software and hardware for electrophysiological research and clinical applications.

Education: BA from Hampshire College, MD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Residencies and fellowships at UVM and the University of Utah in cardiology.

Research interests include chaotic cardiac rhythms, electrode array optimization, and real-time diagnostic tools for atrial fibrillation. His work combines clinical practice with engineering innovation to improve mapping precision and ablation strategies for heart rhythm disorders.

Notable contributions include a novel electrode array/mapping system enabling case-specific patient treatment and algorithmic techniques for analyzing cardiac tissue functional characteristics. His research bridges cardiology and biomedical engineering to advance both clinical practice and medical device development.

Labs/Teams: VisibleEP (computational modeling) and CoreMap (clinical mapping systems). Focus areas include developing next-generation tools for cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment.
