Post-docs

Dr Thomas Fletcher, Postdoctoral Researcher (2024 - )
Prior to joining the group, Tom was previously a postdoctoral researcher at King’s College London from 2020-2024. He worked on using machine learning for reconstruction of highly undersampled cardiac MRI. Tom obtained his PhD in Astrophysics from UCL in 2020, and received an MSc in Astrophysics and MSci in Physics from UCL and Imperial respectively. He has also worked as a Research Scientist at the National Physical Laboratory. Tom’s research interests include machine learning for inverse problems, motion correction and highly undersampled reconstruction in MRI. He will be working on motion-robust and efficient fMRI.

Dr Xinzhe Luo, Postdoctoral Researcher (2024 - )
Xinzhe obtained his PhD degree in Statistics in 2024 and BSc degree in Mathematics in 2019 from Fudan University, respectively. During his PhD study, his research focused on multi-modal groupwise registration and combined computing of medical images using information theory and probabilistic generative modelling. His research interests include machine learning and Bayesian inference in medical image registration and MRI reconstruction. He will be working on trustworthy AI for MRI reconstruction.

Co-supervised PhD Students

Emily Yik Kwan Chan, PhD Student (2022 - )
Emily is a PhD student whose current research is focusing on traumatic brain injury (TBI) prediction in head impact caused by rapid mechanical loading in sports, which lies in the intersection of kinematics, neuroscience and engineering. She is investigating the biomechanic mechanism of the head impacts in sports, identifying the risk factor of neurodegeneration, and surrogate modelling of finite element methods by machine learning methods, with the aim of real-time TBI prediction for sporting collisions. Emily is supervised by Dr Mazdak Ghajari at Human Experience, Analysis and Design (HEAD) Lab at Dyson School of Design Engineering, and co-supervised by Dr Qin Chen at Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Imperial College. Her PhD study is funded by Sports and Wellbeing Analytics (SWA), a progressive player in the field of wearable technology.



Yuyang Xue, PhD Student (2022 - )
Yuyang Xue is currently a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. He is also co-supervised by Prof. Sotirios Tsaftaris. His main research interests are Generative Models and Medical Imaging in Deep Learning. He received his MSc degree in Computer Science from the University of Southampton and Bachelor’s degree in computer science from Fuzhou University, China.



Hollan Haule, PhD Student (2021 - )
Hollan Haule is a PhD student at The University of Edinburgh co-supervised by Dr Javier Escudero Rodriguez, Dr Chen Qin and Dr Milly Lo. He received a BSc in Computer Engineering and Information Technology, October 2011, at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and an MSc degree in Artificial Intelligence, November 2017, at the University of Edinburgh, UK.
