Research

My work sits between biomedical imaging, signal processing and machine learning. Current themes:

  • Image restoration and enhancement: deblurring, denoising, illumination correction and contrast enhancement
  • Dermatological image analysis: skin cancer detection and lesion segmentation
  • Biomedical signal processing and wearable biomedical sensors and systems
  • Neural networks and deep learning for diagnosis support
