Data Analytics Research and Technology in Healthcare
(DARTH group)


DARTH group mission
Ever-increasing healthcare provision demands strain national health systems globally, which struggle to meet patients' needs. There is a growing unmet clinical need to develop accurate, robust, practical decision support tools to facilitate diagnosis, assessment, and symptom monitoring to improve patient health and care.
We are a dynamic research group based at the Usher Institute, Edinburgh Medical School, University of Edinburgh working at the interface of engineering, mathematics, informatics, and medicine. We passionately believe we can design and provide effective solutions which will revolutionize contemporary healthcare delivery through capitalizing technology and harnessing data.
We develop and apply signal processing and statistical machine learning algorithms to explore data and decipher complicated concealed statistical relationships. Our algorithms are directly driven by and validated on complicated real-world problems, aiming to facilitate interpretation of the underlying key mechanisms of the modelled system. Our work is inherently multi-disciplinary and we collaborate with industrial partners and researchers worldwide. We tackle challenging problems in healthcare domains from neurodegenerative disorders and mental health, to asthma, cardiovascular disease, and neonatal monitoring.

Interested students and post-docs to join my group
Please note I do not have funding currently to recruit someone in 2025. I will be providing information here when I have a job opening.
If you contact me, it would be useful if you attach (1) your CV; (2) transcripts; (3) evidence of independent work, ideally e.g. if you have written an undergraduate/master's thesis. I get a very large number of emails - if I haven't responded within a week, please resend.
