Summary
Alexander Whitehead is a research-focused machine learning engineer specialising in medical imaging, with nine years’ experience translating deep learning and signal-processing methods into clinical tools. His PhD and subsequent research at UCL advanced respiratory motion correction for PET/CT and developed neural survival-analysis and generative CT models for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, combining explainable AI with clinically informed biomarkers. He has a strong teaching and mentorship record—lecturing programming to large cohorts and supervising MSc projects—while collaborating closely with clinical teams and presenting at major conferences. Comfortable across C++, Python and MATLAB and frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, he builds end-to-end solutions from signal extraction and denoising to image reconstruction and prediction. Based in Hamburg and now a Visiting Fellow at London South Bank University, he pairs rigorous academic research with practical innovation, and outside the lab pursues creative technical hobbies from 3D printing to film photography and music.
