Research Associate & Lecturer·PhD Student in Computer Science

Working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and biology, developing multimodal deep learning for single-cell and biomedical data.

About

Let me introduce myself

AI for biology, from single cells to the clinic

I am a Research Associate and part-time Lecturer in the School of Computing, Engineering and Digital Technologies at Teesside University, where I am also pursuing a PhD in Computer Science. My research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and biology: I develop multimodal deep learning methods to understand cell fate decisions and cell reprogramming from single-cell and biomedical imaging data, with an emphasis on explainable models.

I also teach and supervise student research projects in the School of Computing, Engineering and Digital Technologies. Before moving into academia, I spent nearly a decade as a business analyst, leading analysis and software-design teams that turned business processes into working software.
