This researcher studies sleep-related breathing disorders, with a particular focus on central sleep apnea (a condition where breathing repeatedly pauses because the brain temporarily stops sending signals to breathing muscles) and its links to heart failure and cardiovascular disease. Work spans diagnosis, classification of different apnea types, and treatments including phrenic nerve stimulation (a device-based therapy that stimulates a nerve controlling the diaphragm) and nocturnal oxygen therapy. Prospective students would likely engage with clinical studies, randomized trials, and consensus/review papers connecting sleep apnea to cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, peaking in 2017 and 2023, with a generally lower and steadier pace of roughly 6-8 papers per year in recent years.
