AI Researcher & Lecturer

Specializing in AI for Early Detection and Diagnosis of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Background

About Me

As a researcher, I specialize in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, including Generative AI (Gen AI), to the detection and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders. My work aims to improve outcomes and provide better support for both patients and professionals.

I'm passionate about bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world healthcare applications, with a strong emphasis on ethical considerations and responsible AI development.

I lead a team of four researchers and supervise two MSc students in AI-driven healthcare research, while collaborating with healthcare professionals and institutions to translate research into practical solutions.
