His latest research in quality outcomes is focused on the long-term effects of acute kidney injury and reduction using goal directed hemodynamic algorithms. He has an interest in Telemedicine /ICU and the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning with physiological waveforms. He developed the standardized EPIC platform of integration of EMR and physiological waveforms when he was at Chief of Critical Care at University of Pennsylvania during the COVID pandemic.
