I am a PhD student in the WMG Data Science group under Prof Giovanni Montana, working on applying computer vision and generative models to medical image analysis.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a machine learning approach to creating realistic new artificial examples of a dataset, for example near-perfect fake human faces. The technology has broad applications in medical image analysis, such as synthetic dataset augmentation, image super-resolution, de-noising, anomaly detection and modality transformation. My work focuses on using GANs to add and remove features of interest to medical images, allowing areas of interest to be automatically highlighted for a medical practitioner as part of an AI-augmented diagnostic workflow.
