He implants cardiac devices when needed such as pacemakers (leadless and traditional systems), defibrillators (trasvenous, subcutaneous and substernal systems), cardiac resynchronization technology, electrical cardioversions, and implantable loop recorders (ILR) to help restore a normal heartbeat. He enjoys teaching and an assistant professor at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin. He has an interest in conducting clinical research to advance the field of medicine and serves as principal investigator (PI) in many clinical trials.
