After completing his bachelors in engineering fluid mechanics, he simultaneously completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and M.D. degree. His Ph.D. thesis research modeled the angiotensin II mediated modulation of the carotid baroreceptor reflex using engineering control theory. He has continued using engineering modeling techniques to refine the understanding of volume and pressure loading on myocardial performance. These techniques have been applied to patients with aortic and mitral regurgitation.
