My goal is to introduce Digital Twins in Healthcare that allow us to explore human physiology beyond experimental limits and directly inform clinical decisions. By combining high-performance computing, biomedical modeling, and rigorous validation, I strive to translate fundamental insight into reliable, patient-specific clinical tools. I combine expertise from three synergistic domains to achieve this:

(I) High-Performance Computing — I develop scalable computational frameworks like HemoCell, an open-source cellular blood flow simulator that achieves exceptional parallel efficiency (>80% on 300,000+ CPU cores) and enables investigations at cellular resolution that exceed current experimental capabilities.

(II) Fundamental Biomedicine — My work advances understanding of blood rheology, platelet aggregation dynamics, and mechanosensitive processes in thrombosis through validated computational models that reproduce emergent transport characteristics of complex cellular systems.

(III) Clinical Applications — I translate fundamental insights into actionable clinical tools, including virtual medical device deployment simulations for endovascular aneurysm treatment and patient-specific models for stroke intervention planning.

This interdisciplinary approach unlocks insights inaccessible through single-domain methods, and enables solutions that are both achievable (optimized for performance and energy efficiency) and actionable (rigorously verified, validated, and uncertainty-quantified).
