Molly Maleckar PhD

Molly Maleckar has been in a leadership role at Simula Research Laboratory in Oslo, Norway, since 2010, most recently as a Senior Scientist in computational cardiac modeling. The multidisciplinarity of the cardiac modeling world, which exists at the intersection of engineering, biology, mathematics, and physics, and at multiple temporal and spatial scales, captured Molly’s interest as a novice investigator. Her research career began with study of the role of myocardial heterogeneities in cardiac muscle excitation, and moved to the role of cardiac fibrosis in arrhythmias, region-specific electrophysiology, and multiscale modeling in atrial arrhythmias.
