Konstantinos Kamnitsas is a co-Director of the CDT. He is an Associate Professor of Engineering Science (Medical Imaging) at the Department of Engineering of the University of Oxford, and Non-Tutorial Fellow at Wolfson College. His research focuses on Machine-Learning (ML) and primarily deep neural networks for medical image analysis. The main goals of his work are to develop reliable, transparent and accountable AI models for safe use in healthcare and empower radiologists, clinicians and researchers with intelligent ML-based tools to better address their research questions and needs of clinical workflows. |
