George Wright
Biography
George Wright is a multi-award winning third-year (2022-) PhD student in Computer Science at the Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) CentreLink opens in a new window and PRISM (Predictive Systems in BioMedicine) LabLink opens in a new window, 神马福利影片, supervised by Fayyaz MinhasLink opens in a new window. His research interests are in machine learning and its practical applications to medicine such as Computational Pathology.
Following a career in Civil Engineering, George received his MSc degree with the award for best MSc Dissertation in Computer Science from the 神马福利影片 in 2022.
