Biography

I joined the University of Liverpool as a Lecturer in January 2008 and now am Professor of AI in Healthcare at the Department of Eye and Vision Science, University of Liverpool. I also has an honorary contract with the St Paul’s Eye Unit of the Royal Liverpool University Hospital for clinical research. I received my BEng and MEng in 1994 and 1997 respectively. I received my PhD in Computer Vision from the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton in 2003. Since then I have been working at the forefront of medical imaging technologies across a diverse spectrum of research and commercially oriented projects in both academia and industry. From November 2002 to June 2004, I was a research fellow with the Division of Imaging Science, King’s College London. From July 2004 to January 2008 I was with Medicsight PLC, as an industrial researcher.

I founded and lead a research group in AI and Image Analysis, which is a research centre specialised in the research and development of image processing and analysis techniques combining pure and applied mathematics, computer science, statistics, electrical engineering and clinical research.
