Samuel Wall received his doctorate degree jointly from the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco in 2007 from the Department of Bioengineering, with research focused on ventricular mechanics and cardiac tissue engineering.  Since 2008, he has been a post-doctoral researcher at the Center for Biomedical Computing at Simula Research Laboratory attempting to bridge the gap between basic clinical cardiac science and and advanced mathematical representations of the heart. 

At Simula, Dr. Wall is pursuing research in the following areas:

1. Computational cardiac electromechanics and mechano-electric feedback in cardiac tissue
2. Development of heart failure following myocardial infarction
3. Theoretical evaluation of novel treatments for heart failure
