Research Interests center on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) development for vascular imaging, including coronary and neurovascular applications. He specializes in medical device evaluation, stent implantation, and atherosclerosis assessment. His work bridges Biomedical Engineering with Cardiology and Neurosurgery.

Publication Trends show strong representation in Cardiology (2011-2025), Neurology (2021-2024), and Diagnostic Imaging (2012-2021). Key subfields include OCT automation, vascular disease imaging, and device-tissue interactions.

Research Funding includes two NIH grants as Principal Investigator (R43NS100163 and R44NS100163) for neurovascular OCT development (2017-2020).

Networks show collaborations with Matthew Gounis, Ajit Puri, and Robert King, with concepts derived from publications including Tomography, Optical Coherence, Coronary Artery Disease, and Drug-Eluting Stents. His work appears in journals like Nature Communications, Stroke, and JACC Cardiovascular Imaging.
