Balancing between dreaming and doing keeps me focused on the journey rather than the destination. I run the congenital cardiac MRI program at the Children's Hospital of Illinois and the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. I approach every patient with "the buck stops here" attitude which drove me to develop clear 3D sequences. This ability to acquire clear 3D datasets found additional applicability with the emergence of Jump Simulation's 3D printing capability. Our success in congenital heart disease surgical planning through 3D printing led to the creation of the Advanced Imaging and Modeling (AIM) Lab within Jump Simulation. Our AIM lab research team invented virtual reality authoring capability to meet the needs of teams needing to rapidly convey complex 3D problems. I founded Enduvo, Inc. to transition the tool from a research model to a scaled solution. My current research interests are on the efficiency and effectiveness of VR educational models as well as 3D segmentation of patient specific pathologies.
