Closed-loop Control Systems for Cardiac Rhythm Regulation
The conference:
Dynamics Days Europe is a series of major international conferences founded in the 1980’s that provides a European forum for developments in the theory and applications of dynamics. For more than 40 years, it has been bringing together researchers from a wide range of backgrounds including physics, mathematics, biology, and engineering for interdisciplinary research in nonlinear science.
I recently had the pleasure of presenting at Dynamics Days Europe, held in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki, Greece. As part of the minisymposium "Complex Dynamics in Cardiac Systems," I shared recent progress in the fields of nonlinear dynamics and engineering that led to the development of two closed-loop control systems for cardiac rhythm regulation.
The first system builds on the concept of APqr patch-clamping, offering a novel way to stabilize cardiac activity through precise feedback mechanisms. The second system—currently the subject of an upcoming paper—is an entirely new approach based on optical voltage mapping. During my talk, I showcased both techniques and discussed their potential use-cases in both clinical and experimental contexts.
I was also joined by my postdoc, Desmond, who presented a poster during the lively poster session. His work focused on the PigReads project — a Python Integrated GPU REAction Diffusion Solver — and it drew a lot of attention from the scientific community. His bright pink poster was not only eye-catching but also packed with impressive results, and the feedback he received was overwhelmingly positive.
Beyond the academic exchange, the conference offered a vibrant atmosphere for connecting with researchers from across the field. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the decorative pools provided a welcome place to cool off between sessions. The rooftop conference dinner—with its stunning views—was followed by an unforgettable dance party, rounding out a truly fantastic experience.
