Biography

Alfonso Bueno-Orovio obtained his PhD from the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain in 2007, focusing on modeling and simulation of human ventricular electrophysiology. Following his PhD, he gained industrial experience during a postdoctoral position at the Technical University of Madrid. In 2010, he joined the Computational Cardiovascular Science group at the University of Oxford, where he developed synergistic data-driven approaches to cardiovascular research. In 2017, he became a computational Intermediate Basic Science Research Fellow funded by the British Heart Foundation. His work primarily encompasses the structural-function interplay and population variability in the human heart, using modeling and simulation to enhance our understanding of experimental clinical findings. Bueno-Orovio's research aims to investigate cardiac arrhythmias, mechanisms of drug action, and their pathological conditions. His research focus includes the interplay between cardiac function and structure, employing advanced mathematical modeling, and using in-silico studies to reduce or replace animal research. He collaborates with clinicians and industrial partners to translate results from basic science into clinical and industrial applications.
