HDRC Data Scientist

HDRC Bradford

I am a Data Scientist for the NIHR Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) in Bradford, hosted by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. She holds a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Southampton, guided by Dr Nicolas Green, and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence with a focus on Digital Health from the University of Liverpool, supervised by Dr Dominik Wojtczak.

Before my current role, I was an Urban Data Science Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. She worked on the European Research Council-funded project Data Assimilation for Agent-Based Models (DUST), led by Professor Nick Malleson.

My research interests span a broad range of applications in machine learning, particularly in health-related data science.
