[Atypical collective oscillatory activity in cardiac tissue uncovered by optogenetics]
This work provides mechanistic insights into the development of cardiac arrhythmia and establishes a new experimental use case for optogenetics in studying cardiac electrophysiology. The agreement between computational models and experimental observations provides evidence that wave train-induced pacemaker activity can originate in continuously depolarized tissue.
[(Cardiac) Complexity needs Interaction]
An editorial describing the necessity for collaboration in todays cardiac reasearch landscape with a focus on some modern innovations.

[Second natuurkunde.nl article]
My follow-up article highlights the unique ways in which excitation waves regulate our heart rhythm, but also how things could go wrong and initiate rhythm disorders.
[First natuurkunde.nl article]
I wrote an article for the Dutch website natuurkunde.nl detailing the biophysics behind cardiac rhythm. It is aimed at high school students with basic mathematical and physical knowledge. This article highlights that there are more uses to high school subjects than people probably have in mind as it is not covered by a regular school curriculum.
[Small collaboration grant]
Together with the mathematics department, I won a small grant to foster collaboration.
