Event programme

We are delighted to welcome the following speakers

Professor Daniel Joyce – University of Liverpool

I'm a psychiatrist and data scientist interested in how we can make use of data-driven technologies to better understand mental illness. My work looks at how we can use methods from statistical- and machine-learning in prosaic ways to deliver actionable insights to patients and clinicians.

Topics I have a particular interest in include a) defining what transdiagnostic phenotyping means and how it can be achieved using clinical data that may be at best, first-approximations (or proxies) for traditional diagnostics and syndromes b) unobtrusive and low-burden measurement and tracking of clinical and health states using technology c) how to capture aspects of clinical decision making so that data-driven technology (like artificial intelligence) can be aligned with clinical practice.

I spend much of my time working on delivering two work packages for the Mental health Research for Innovation Centre - specifically, Innovative Therapies for Mood Disorders and the Mental Health Avatar

Professor Caswell Barry – University College London 

Prof. Caswell Barry joined UCL’s Cell and Developmental Biology department in 2013, previously being based at the Institute of Neurology with Prof. Neil Burgess. His goal is to build a computational understanding of the neural basis of memory. In other words, explaining how a network of neurons in able to store, update, and retrieve information about the world and events that happen within it. 

To this end he studies spatial memory and its representation in the hippocampal formation. His lab uses tools such as computational modelling and machine learning in conjunction with a variety of experimental techniques to understand how the processes of memory formation and retrieval are triggered.

Professor Inden Tsang – University of Pernambuco

Tsang Ing Ren received the B.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from the Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium. He is currently an Associate Professor with Center for Informatics, Federal University of Pernambuco. His research interests include machine learning, image processing, computational photography, computer vision, and deep learning.
