Scholar-generated biography
Alan V. Sahakian is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and (by courtesy) Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. His research focuses on cardiac electrophysiology, particularly atrial fibrillation, with an emphasis on microwave and millimeter-wave ablation techniques for treating cardiac arrhythmias. His work explores the use of advanced signal processing methods for diagnosing and characterizing atrial fibrillation, including the analysis of heart rate variability and fibrillatory wave characteristics. Sahakian also investigates biomedical applications of photonic nanojets and wireless electrotherapy systems for implantable medical devices. His research integrates engineering and clinical approaches to develop innovative solutions for cardiac rhythm disorders.
