Biography
Mudith is a DPhil student in the Computational Health Informatics (CHI) Lab supervised by Professor David Clifton and supported by the Rhodes Scholarship. He received his MD with Dist. and BMed with Dist. from the University of New South Wales in Sydney (Australia) where he worked as a medical doctor for two years focussing on neurosurgery and held an adjunct associate lecturer position at the University of New South Wales. He also worked at a large Australian digital health startup helping to develop an asynchronous text-based telemedicine platform. In his first year at Oxford, he completed an MSc in Applied Digital Health and then completed the Centre for Doctoral training Health Data Science coursework whilst starting his DPhil.
He is currently working on multimodal data fusion using deep architectures for clinical risk prediction. The applied areas of his work include diagnosis of undiagnosed chronic health conditions like atrial fibrillation as well as predictive monitoring in neurocritical care.
Outside of medicine, Mudith spent many years competing as an elite pole vaulter in track and field. He also co-founded and runs Ethical Education, a charity that connects volunteer tutors with means-tested students across Australia.
