I am Professor and Chair in Machine Intelligence Applied to Medicine in the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London. I am Deputy Director and Group Lead in the Care Research and Technology Centre at the UK Dementia Research Institute, an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Big Data and vice-chair of the IEEE SIG on Big Data Intelligent Networking.

Please note that this page only includes some of my recent (and a little bit) successful work and does not report any of my failures (e.g. rejected papers, grant applications, fellowships). Adding the failures would have created a very long page.

Research interests

My main research goal is to develop AI and machine learning solutions for healthcare, and create affordable and scalable digital systems than can be applied across a range of health conditions. I work on machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), semantic computing, adaptive algorithms and computational neuroscience to solve problems and develop new technologies for the future healthcare systems.  My colleagues and I are currently working on:
  • AI and IoT enabled solutions to provide personalised care for people affected by dementia
  • Machine learning and causal networks to create symptom experience models for cancer care
  • The unobtrusive monitoring of patients in hospital wards and at home
  • Time-series data processing and pattern analysis
  • Continual learning and semi-supervised learning models
