I am the Head of the Data Science Research Centre and Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. My research interests lie in algorithms for Artificial Intelligence, with a specific focus on Causal AI, Digital Twins, and the modelling of large-scale, highly structured, and/or relational data (including multivariate time series, graphs, networks, etc.). My research finds its applications in various domains such as cardiovascular science, drug development, bioinformatics, healthcare, astrophysics, engineering, etc. Additionally, I hold a senior membership position at the Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science (LCCS).
