Bio
Attending Physician in Cardiology (Fee-Basis) at VA Palo Alto Healthcare System, Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, PhD Candidate in Epidemiology and Population Health Sciences. Graduate of Stanford Internal Medicine / Global Health Residency / Chief Resident, and Cardiology Fellowship Programs.
My professional interests include epidemiology and health services research focused on heart disease and environmental determinants of cardiovascular disorders, particularly in global vulnerable populations. I also have a longstanding interest in studying and improving the quality of care for neglected tropical heart diseases of low- and middle-income countries, chief among them rheumatic heart disease. I consider myself methodologically agnostic, and incorporate classic descriptive/analytic epidemiology, big data/outcomes analysis, health systems modeling, and geographic information services techniques in my work.
