N1 - Funding Information: Adam T. Schoenwald (S’87) received a B.S. degree in Electrical En- gineering and one in Mechanical Engineer- ing from Northwestern University in 1991. He went on to receive his M.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern in 1994 and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering there. He is a member of Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering honorary society, Pi Tau Sigma Mechanical Engineering honorary society, is the student representative to the IEEE EMBS Chicago Chapter Steering Committee, and is the recipient of a Whi-taker Foundation Graduate Fellowship. His research interests include electrophysiologic mechanisms of atrial fibrillation, and automatic detection and diagnoses of cardiac arrhythmia. Adam is also an amateur rock guitar player and can be seen on weekends performing at vari-ous rock nightclubs throughout the Chicago area. He can be reached at (847) 570-2642, or at a-schoenwald@nwu.edu.
