Biography

Wanda Krassowska Neu is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. She has made significant contributions to the fields of electroporation-mediated drug delivery and nonlinear dynamics of cardiac arrhythmias. Her research focuses on the development of theoretical models to understand the mechanisms of electroporation, which creates nanoscale pores in cell membranes for potentially delivering therapeutic drugs and DNA into cells. Neu's work also investigates alternative treatment protocols for cardiac arrhythmias, aiming to find methods that are less invasive compared to traditional defibrillation techniques that use large shocks. This involves developing feedback-based control strategies that can effectively coordinate smaller electric pulses to correct irregular heart rhythms.
