A cardiologist, professor of medicine, and co-founder of the Stanford Arrhythmia Center, Sanjiv Narayan, MD, PhD, earned his doctor of medicine (MD) from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. Sanjiv Narayan, MD, PhD, based his doctoral work on a thesis conducted at UCLA that explored neural electrophysiology, signal processing, and computational mapping. His education combined medical training with advanced research in analyzing biological signals and understanding complex physiological patterns.

Additionally, Sanjiv M. Narayan, MD, PhD, serves as director of the NIH-funded T32 Computational Medicine in the Heart Integrated Program at Stanford University. The program draws participants from leading research institutions across the United States, including those in San Diego. This initiative trains physician-scientists and engineer-biologists to connect medical practice with technological innovation. Through interdisciplinary learning, trainees develop skills in computational analysis, biomedical engineering, and clinical research. His work at Stanford University connects to research on machine learning and computational tools in health care, which involves trainees and provides them with hands-on opportunities to study how advanced technologies can improve diagnosis and guide treatment strategies.

Moreover, Dr. Sanjiv M. Narayan works as a cardiologist and directs the Stanford Arrhythmia Center, where research and patient care intersect. The center focuses on developing bioengineering solutions for challenging clinical problems and translating scientific discoveries into improved treatments. He networks with leading cardiovascular research communities in San Diego and across California. He is also the director of electrophysiology research at Stanford Medicine.
