Research focus

My work is directed toward medical AI for oncology, especially where imaging, clinical data, and responsible model evaluation can support better diagnosis, risk assessment, treatment planning, and follow-up decisions.

My MSc dissertation on medical image concept detection gave me a foundation in radiology image pipelines, multi-label deep learning, and clinically meaningful evaluation beyond accuracy. I am building on this toward oncology imaging, breast cancer AI, radiomics/radiogenomics, and reproducible clinical AI workflows.

Active portfolio

Selected work and ongoing projects in medical imaging AI.

Concept detection in medical images

MSc Dissertation · Heriot-Watt University · 2023
Completed

Built a ResNet18 multi-label classifier on radiology images with UMLS/CUI concept labels using ImageCLEF/ROCO-style data. Evaluated using per-concept precision, recall, and F1-score with detailed analysis of label noise and evaluation strategy.

Key finding: evaluation strategy — not just model architecture — determines whether a medical AI system produces clinically trustworthy outputs. Aggregate accuracy masked significant per-concept performance gaps.

Breast cancer diagnostic classification

Portfolio project · 2026
Completed

A structured machine learning pipeline for breast cancer classification using the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer dataset. Covers preprocessing, baseline model comparison, and evaluation beyond accuracy — with documented model limitations and a roadmap toward imaging-based breast cancer AI.

Evaluation focus: AUC-ROC, F1, precision/recall curves across logistic regression, SVM, and random forest baselines. Limitations and next steps explicitly documented — framed as a foundation for future CBIS-DDSM imaging work.

MONAI medical imaging baseline

Pipeline project · 2026
Completed

A clean medical image classification pipeline using MONAI and PyTorch on the MedNIST dataset. Focused on reproducible preprocessing, validation metrics, confusion matrix analysis, precision, recall, and F1-score. Serves as a reproducible template for future oncology imaging workflows.

Oncology imaging & biomedical AI workspace

Research workspace · 2026 — ongoing
Building

A research-grade medical imaging AI project developed toward oncology-oriented concept detection and clinically meaningful model evaluation. The current phase establishes a reproducible chest X-ray classification baseline using PyTorch, with structured dataset handling, model training, test-set evaluation, confusion-matrix analysis, and prediction visualisation. The first baseline uses pneumonia-vs-normal chest X-ray classification to validate the imaging workflow and examine clinically relevant trade-offs beyond aggregate accuracy. Current results show high sensitivity to pneumonia cases, while also highlighting the cost of over-flagging normal cases — making the project a practical starting point for studying false negatives, false positives, threshold behaviour, and clinical risk in medical AI systems. The project will next progress toward oncology-relevant imaging tasks, with planned extensions in lung imaging, radiomics features, explainability, and clinically framed model validation.
