AKINAD - Key Persons


Dr. Kudakwashe Dube

Kuda's research work lies in Knowledge Engineering, Computer Security and Privacy and Cloud Internet of Things with applications in Healthcare. Kuda's Massey Profile. Kuda's works across these domains focus on innovative modeling and representation of domain knowledge for use in computational paradigms to improve accuracy and utility of results. This means his work is multi-disciplinary and is at the boundary of theory and practice in Computing. Kuda is also a founding member of the HIKER Group.

Dr. Scott McLACHLAN

Scott is currently working on the PAMBAYESIAN project as a postdoctoral research assistant. He accumulated over 17 years experience in Infrastructure and Software Architecture, health systems integration and Workflow design before returning to university to complete graduate and postgraduate qualifications and research in Health Informatics, Health and Cyber Law, Knowledge Engineering and Data Mining. Scott was also a founding member of the HiKER research group which researches ethical and privacy issues related to secondary use of electronic health records (EHR), as well as development of the synthetic realistic EHR (RS-EHR).

Evangelia Kyrimi

Evangelia is a statistician who works as a research assistant on the Pambayesian project. Having recently attained her PhD in computer science at Queen Mary University of London. Her thesis is titled "Bayesian Networks for Clinical Decision Making: Support, Assurance, Trust". Her research interests lie in Bayesian modeling and decision support under uncertainty in medical applications.

Graham Hitman

Graham graduated from University College Hospital Medical School in 1976 and did his clinical training in General Medicine and Diabetes in Kings College and associated Hospitals, St Bartholomew's Hospital and subsequently The Royal London Hospital. Graham's QMUL Profile He did is MD research into the genetics of diabetes with Professor David Galton at Barts and was subsequently appointed as Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Reader at the Royal London Hospital Medical College working under Professor RD Cohen. Since 1995 he has been Professor of Molecular Medicine and Diabetes at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Prof Hitman was director of the Blizard Institute from October 2013 to March 2017

Martin Neil

Job Titles:
  • Professor in Computer Science
Martin is a Professor in Computer Science and Statistics in Queen Mary, University of London. Martin's QMUL Profile.His research interests cover Bayesian modeling and risk quantification in diverse areas. Experience in applying Bayesian methods to real problems has convinced him that intelligent risk assessment and decision analysis requires knowledge and data. Not just "Big Data". He is also a joint founder and of Agena Ltd, who develop and distribute AgenaRisk, a software product for modeling risk and uncertainty . At Queen Mary he teaches decision and risk analysis and software engineering.

Prof. Norman FENTON

Job Titles:
  • Professor of Risk Information Management at Queen Mary London University
Norman Fenton is Professor of Risk Information Management at Queen Mary London University. Norman's QMUL Profile. Norman is also a Director of Agena, a company that specialises in risk management for critical systems. Norman, who is a mathematician by training, works on quantitative risk assessment. This typically involves analysing and predicting the probabilities of unknown events using Bayesian statistical methods including especially causal, probabilistic models (Bayesian networks). This type of reasoning enables improved assessment by taking account of both statistical data and also expert judgment.
