Research Interests

Dr. Entcheva uses state-of-the-art engineering methods to examine the electrical and mechanical function of cardiac cells and heart tissue. She creates tools for optical actuation and sensing, imaging, and control to examine normal and abnormal excitation in the heart, including arrhythmias. Her work creates experimental models for physiomics studies, drug and gene therapy testing, 3D cellular platforms, and it creates an experimental setting for validation of computer models of excitable tissue.
