- His work involves close collaboration with the cardiac surgery team at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in the diagnosis and management of patients with aortic disease.
- His research interests include mechanisms of aortic aneurysm formation, and clinical management and outcomes of thoracic aortic aneurysm disease.
