Ilija Uzelac holds a Ph.D. degree in Physics from Vanderbilt University and an MBA from Georgia Institute of Technology, MSc. Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Belgrade, and has published over 30 articles and presented his research worldwide.
For over a decade, he has worked on measurement and modeling in biological physics and electrophysiology, at the scale of whole hearts including zebrafish, guinea pig, rabbit, cat, dog, sheep heart, and other exotic animals of different evolutionary heart electrophysiology as alligators and frogs. His core expertise is diverse and includes optical mapping measurement, signal measurement and conditioning with analog electronics design, signal and image processing, arrhythmia and arrhythmia control mechanisms, and studies related to drugs’ effects on ionic membrane currents.
His research aims to better understand the mechanisms of arrhythmia and arrhythmia control, novel techniques, and methods related to heart electrophysiology, ablation, and low-energy defibrillation. His mission is to invent tools and techniques required to understand biological systems across spatiotemporal scales and focus research and education on an integrated multidisciplinary approach. He loves teaching and learning and sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for research, with extensive experience with academic collaborators worldwide. He loves teamwork to have shared goals, team rewards, and share whole team rewards.
