Research & Publications

My research centres on explainable AI and applied machine learning — most directly in medical-image analysis, where an interpretable result matters as much as an accurate one.

Research areas

Where the work is focused.

01

Explainable Artificial Intelligence

Making machine-learning predictions interpretable, so the reasoning behind a result can be reviewed, not just trusted.

02

Medical Image Analysis

Applying interpretable machine learning to medical imagery, where an explanation matters as much as an accurate prediction.

03

Applied Machine Learning

Moving machine-learning methods from a research setting into systems that are actually built and evaluated.

04

Responsible and Interpretable AI

Designing AI systems whose outputs can be reviewed, questioned, and held to a standard of evidence.

05

Intelligent Decision-Support Systems

Systems that support a human decision-maker with evidence and explanation, rather than replacing their judgement.

Research approach

How the work is done.

01

Start from interpretability

Treat explainability as a design requirement, not an add-on applied after a model is built.

02

Evaluate against evidence

Judge a method by whether its explanation holds up against domain evidence, not only against a benchmark score.

03

Build, not just publish

Carry research questions through to a working technical implementation rather than stopping at a proof of concept.

04

Solve a real problem

Anchor research direction in a concrete applied problem — in this case, supporting medical-image review — rather than a purely theoretical one.
