Research Focus
Dr. Lei Shi's lab at Kennesaw State University focuses on using generative AI to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases, particularly those affecting the ventricles. By developing advanced computer models, the lab aims to improve our understanding of how the heart works and how it behaves under different conditions, which can lead to more personalized medical care for patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
