Professional Interests

I am a non-invasive cardiologist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Echocardiography is my clinical specialty. I have a special interest in heart-healthy diet education.
Before coming to DHMC in 2003, I worked as a research associate at the Max-Planck-Institute in Bad Nauheim, where I studied the mechanisms of compensatory growth of collateral arteries. I was involved in developing and optimizing methods to image and quantify collateral arteries in a murine femoral artery ligation model. I continued some of this work at Dartmouth and mentored a number of Dartmouth students who worked with me.
I am a faculty advisor of the Dartmouth Argentine Tango Society.
