Professor of Biomedical Informatics

University of Oxford


I am a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow and Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Oxford. My team of ~20 researchers develop reproducible methods to analyse wearable sensor data in both clinical trials and very large health studies to better understand the causes and consequences of disease. Our team has played a key role in the collection of wearable sensor data in over 150,000 research participants across the UK and China, ansl also complementary open human activity recognition validation datasets to further enhance these resources. Our team develops open software tools and data resources for machine learning methods to measure sleep, sedentary behaviour, physical activity behaviours and steps.
