Alexander L. Jenkins

Hello! I’m Alex, a PhD student at Imperial College London on the UKRI AI for Healthcare CDT researching graph signal processing and probabilistic generative models for multi-channel time-series data analysis. I am researching in the labs of Professor Danilo Mandic and Dr Fu Siong Ng. Specifically, I am tackling the problem of visualising electrical activity over the heart surface for patients with atrial fibrillation. You can read about my research problem in this short article recently featured in Forbes.

Prior to starting my PhD, I completed Master of Physics and Master of Philosophy degrees at the University of Manchester, where I focussed on AI and causal inference in radiotherapy. I also led the strategic data analysis for the design of a new radiotherapy machine for low- and middle-income countries as Research Assistant at the University of Oxford, and I worked as a data scientist in finance and at a medical imaging start-up.

I am passionate about AI in healthcare; from both the technical and the business sides. So on here, expect some updates regarding my work in this area, some tutorials on topics I am trying to get my head around, and blog posts about new tech, new business and investing in healthcare, featuring the weird and wonderful that I find interesting.
