Additional information
Research interests:
My main area of research interest is the application of mathematical models to benefit society and public health. Currently I am researching the impact of quantum computing algorithms on real-time neural network performance. Real-time neural networks have the potential to detect harmful events as quickly as possible, potentially mitigating the consequences of such an event. In the past I have used advanced statistical models to determine patient risk factors impacting the likelihood of adverse health outcomes. I am always keen to learn more about the underlying algorithms which can potentially benefit society.
