Having graduated with distinction from The University of Western Australia in 2024 with the Fred Johnston Memorial Prize, Annora is a medical intern working at Fiona Stanley Hospital. She is currently undergoing her MPhil at UWA which interrogates the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis, and this project represents the first chapter of her Master’s thesis. Her previous work includes research investigating radiological markers of frailty in patients following transcatheter aortic valve replacement, for which she was awarded the medical student New Investigator Poster Prize at CSANZ in 2024. As an emerging physician-scientist, Annora is excited about the possibilities for interdisciplinary research collaboration and the use of artificial intelligence in research and medicine.

Dr Daniel Brieger is a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney. His thesis is exploring factors promoting resilience and vulnerability to cardiovascular disease using a multi-omic approach.

James Nadel is a cardiologist and cardiovascular researcher with interests in non-invasive cardiovascular imaging and its application in atherosclerosis and aortic disease. He has presented and published research on these topic internationally and was the recipient of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging Young Investigator Award in 2023. He returned from post-doctoral studies at King's College London in late 2024 and holds appointment at St. Vincent's Hospital and the Heart Research Institute.

Dr Dind is an Advanced Imaging Cardiologist at Sydney Adventist Hospital. She has special interests in CMR and echocardiography. After completing MRI and Sports Cardiology fellowships at SMRI and Royal Prince Alfred she continued researching Athlete's Heart and genetic cardiomyopathies, utilising traditional and novel CMR measures to better distinguish these entities.

Mithila is a second-year Cardiology Advanced Trainee at Westmead Hospital with a strong commitment to academia and research. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the University of Sydney and is a Clinical Associate Lecturer at the University of Sydney and a Conjoint Associate Lecturer at Western Sydney University. Her research focuses on the burden of cardiovascular disease in women and minority groups.

Kevin is a cardiologist and cardiac imaging specialists with research interest on the use of CT coronary angiogram in identifying and treating patients with raised coronary inflammation.

Dr Tu Hao Tran completed his training in internal medicine and advanced training in Cardiology at Liverpool, Campbelltown, Concord and Nepean Hospitals. He is currently an Innovation and Electrophysiology Fellow at Campbelltown Hospital as where he spends his time creating digital solutions that enable large health data reconciliation using software and artificial intelligence (AI). He has a keen interest in the AI space and has developed courses in Machine Learning Fundamentals and written a chapter on leveraging AI in Preventative Cardiology. He has also chaired several international summits for the Medical Intelligence Society, an international community of clinicians with an interest in AI.

Urmita Jhaveri is a cardiac imaging fellow at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

Dr Leah Wright (BAppSc, DMU Cardiac, PhD) is a Senior Echocardiographer and Post-Doctoral Fellow at Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. Her PhD from the University of Tasmania focused on using echocardiography in the clinical follow-up of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Dr Wright has conducted clinical trials across Australia, incorporating advanced echocardiography into large community-based cohorts. She is affiliated with the Cardiometabolic Health and Exercise Physiology laboratory and the Imaging Research laboratory at Baker Institute. Dr Wright's research contributions include work on strain surveillance during chemotherapy to improve cardiovascular outcomes, use of cardiac imaging during exercise intervention trials and advanced imaging to detect subclinical cardiac disease.

Jim Pouliopoulos is currently a senior postdoctoral scientist at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute and St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, where he is undertaking research into advanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging techniques. He was awarded his PhD from the University of Sydney in 2011, to focus his early attention on complex arrhythmia cardiac mapping and mechanisms at Westmead Hospital. He is currently focused on investigating novel disease mechanisms contributing to cardiac disfunction and clinical diagnostics involving the development of quantitative analytical techniques, integrating both advanced CMR imaging and electrophysiology in the context of heart failure, cardiac transplantation surveillance, ischemic remodelling, and arrhythmogenesis.

Dr Henry Chen is a clinical and academic cardiologist in the early stages of his career. He works in Ryde Hospital and Blacktown Hospital in Sydney and is currently on his way to completing his PhD with the university of Sydney. He has special interest in heart failure and cardiac imaging.
