Amr Al Abed is a Senior Research Associate with the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering. I work at the junction of computational modelling, biomedical instrumentation and cardiac and neural electrophysiology. I have extensive expertise in biocomputational simulations with the experimental skills essential for model validation and a focus on translation, applying these models to design medical devices for cardiac bionics, gene therapy, and brain-machine interfaces.
