Caroline Mendonça Costa

Postdoctoral researcher (previous member) · Imperial College London

Dr. Caroline Mendonça Costa received her undergraduate degree in Computer Science and her master’s degree on Computational Modelling from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. She received her Ph.D. degree in Numeric Mathematics and Computational Modelling from the University of Graz, Graz, Austria. From July 2016 to September 2021, Caroline was a postdoctoral research associate at CEMRG. Her research focused on investigating arrhythmogenesis in infarct patients undergoing cardiac ressynchronisation therapy. Previously, she has worked on cell modelling of Chagas’ disease (Fisiocomp, Brazil), with RNA transcription models of viral infection (Bioquant, Germany), and with finite element and parameterization techniques to model fibrosis (Computational Cardiology Research Group, Austria). Her broader research interests include methodological and applied aspects of computational modelling of cardiac electrophysiology and image analysis, with emphasis on building patient-specific models of the heart to investigate the role of electrophysiological and structural remodelling on ventricular arrhythmias. Her next role was as a data scientist in iTech Media.
