Joshua Strong
DPhil Student
Originally from Manchester, I studied BSc Mathematics at the University of York, followed by MSc Data Science at UCL. Upon graduating, I was employed by the NHS as a data scientist for both trust-level and national teams. Most recently, working within the Economics and Strategic Analysis team at NHS England, I worked primarily on the Early Warning System; a Bayesian hierarchical model used to short-term forecast COVID hospital metrics at the trust, regional and national levels. I have wide research interests in health data science, but most recently have developed an interest in the application of deep learning models in medical imaging.
Outside of my studies, I (sometimes) enjoy watching the premier league as an avid Manchester United fan, playing badminton and travelling across the UK.
