Dr. Gabriel Balaban worked as a research associate at KCL (2016- 2019). His research topics included the biophysical modelling of the heart, arrhythmia prediction, and MRI image analysis in the context of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

His publications from this project include a study on scar shapes in contrast enhanced MRI, as well as a study of the effects of simulated scars on electrical activation patterns and dangerous electrical reentries in dilated cardiomyopathy patients.
