Peter E. Hammer's primary research interests include mathematical modeling of cardiac biomechanics and electrophysiology as well as biomedical signal and image processing. Some applications of his work include heart valve simulation for surgical planning, analysis of new methods for mapping cardiac arrhythmias, and the study of heart rate variability.
