Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Clerx is a Senior Research Fellow based in the Greater Oxford Area with a decade of experience applying mathematical modelling and numerical techniques to cardiac electrophysiology. He investigates how subtle ion channel changes and mutations drive life-threatening arrhythmias by linking single-cell channel behavior to tissue-level dysfunction using computational models. Holding a PhD in Computational Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology and an MSc in Artificial Intelligence, he blends biophysics, machine learning concepts, and rigorous simulation to probe mechanisms that are difficult to access experimentally. His work sits at the intersection of theory and translational impact, informing both basic science and potential therapeutic strategies. An unexpected strength is his background in mechanical engineering and applied physics, which gives him a practical, cross-disciplinary perspective on model development and numerical implementation.
