Top SchoolReza Rafiee is a Lecturer in Data Analytics and Machine Learning at Queen’s University Belfast with nine years of experience bridging academic research and practical software development. He holds a PhD in Computer Vision and has applied advanced ML, tensor decomposition, and bioinformatics techniques to cancer genomics and paediatric medulloblastoma projects during postdoctoral roles. Reza combines hands-on algorithm development (NMF/NTF, clustering, classification) with building deployable diagnostic classifiers and analysis pipelines for high-throughput methylation and RNA‑Seq data. His background includes industry software engineering and leadership, having led development teams and delivered production EPOS and web-based contact-centre systems. He is particularly skilled at turning multi-scale biological data into clinically relevant tools—one of his classifiers was productionised for diagnostic use. Based in Belfast, he blends rigorous research methods with pragmatic software engineering to move ML solutions from prototype to routine practice.
