Biography

Alex is a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Professor Alison Noble focusing on developing and evaluating methods for Learning to Defer in healthcare. In this setting, a machine learning model can choose to defer its decision to a human expert based on cost and uncertainty.

He conducted his PhD at Imperial College London studying trusted and reliable machine learning methods for remote healthcare monitoring. This work was supervised by Payam Barnaghi as part of the UK Dementia Research Institute.

Before Alex's doctoral research, he completed a BSc in Mathematics at UCL and an MSc in Applied Mathematics at Imperial.
