He joined the program at Emory University/Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in 2004 where he serves as executive director of the cardiac intensive care unit and is a professor of pediatrics at Emory University. His research involves the application of new technology to pediatric cardiac care, medical device development, and innovation in pediatrics.

She pursued her neonatology fellowship at UCSF, and then stayed on faculty there for a few years before joining Emory/Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in 2006. Her research interest focuses on brain injury/neuroimaging in congenital heart disease, which is what originally led her to spend significant time in the CICU.
