• Co-developed the first mean-field model of the Voltage-Calcium dynamics of the cardiac cells, exhibiting all electrophysiological phenotypes and reducing simulation runtime by ~300 times
• Engineered C++ and CUDA code to simulate cardiac tissue with over 5 ionic models, enhancing simulation accuracy by implementing advanced algorithms such as backward-Euler and Runge-Kutta
• Revolutionized the understanding of cardiac repolarization waves by reclassifying a subset from phase waves to trigger waves, challenging long-standing misconceptions in cardiac electrophysiology.
• Conducted comprehensive wave dynamics analysis using marginal stability analysis and shooting methods, accurately categorizing phase waves, push/pull fronts, and trigger waves
• Analyzed and simulated different cardiac cell models, uncovering that premature ventricular contractions occur when repolarization wave speed decreases to a threshold

• Analyzed the Kuramoto model with a bimodal frequency distribution using complex integrals, Fourier transform, and perturbation theory, leading to better synchronization understanding
• Developed Python code to simulate the human brain's decision-making process using the drift-diffusion model, demonstrating that neuron synchronization negatively impacts decision accuracy
• Investigated dynamical behavior, bifurcation curves, and phase diagrams of oscillators using advanced computational techniques, identifying new patterns in oscillator behavior
