Hiroshi Ashikaga, MD, PhD

Associate Professor
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Dr. Ashikaga is a cardiac electrophysiologist with over 18 years of experience in quantitative, translational, clinical, and population-based research in heart rhythm disorders, medical imaging physics, continuum mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, information theory for complex systems, and artificial intelligence. As an attending cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Ashikaga performs invasive electrophysiology procedures including catheter ablation and cardiac implantable electric device implantation. As Principal Investigator Dr. Ashikaga leads clinical trials on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Dr. Ashikaga also serves as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Bordeaux in France to lead research projects on ventricular fibrillation with an international team of scientists and clinicians.
