Marta Varela Anjari

Marta Varela Anjari is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the National Heart & Lung Institute, part of the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London. Her research integrates Physics-Informed Machine Learning, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and digital twin technologies to advance understanding of human physiology and improve clinical treatments.

• Specializes in Medical Physics and Artificial Intelligence
• Focuses on cardiac mechanics and disease via computational modeling
• Develops machine learning applications for MRI-based cardiac diagnostics

Her work explores: 1) Physics-Informed Neural Networks for simulating organ function and characterizing cardiac properties; 2) Atrial deformation analysis to study cardiac diseases; and 3) Machine learning-enhanced MRI for quantifying pathological features like aortic valve disease and pericardial fat. She has developed a publicly accessible Android app for cardiac arrhythmia treatment demonstration.
