Dr Allan Tucker

I am interested in the use of AI modelling techniques to try and solve challenging real-world problems with a focus on biological, clinical and ecological big data. My PhD at Birkbeck College, entitled "The Automatic Explanation of Multivariate Time Series" was sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council; Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions, UK; and Honeywell HTC, USA. I lead the Intelligent Data Analysis group at Brunel University London with 40 members of academic and research staff. Previously I have worked in conjunction with Leiden University Medical School, UCL and Rothamsted Research on gene regulatory networks. My current projects include modelling diverse datasets at Kew including text mining approaches for extracting knowledge form digitised flora and XXXX. I also have projects analysing various clinical datasets from Moorfield’s Eye Hospital and the Royal Free Hospitals in London, as well as projects exploring the dynamics of fish populations in the Northern Atlantic and Baltic seas using Hidden Markov Models in conjunction with the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, DEFRA and the University of Helsinki. I have a number of advisory roles for the EU on biodiversity and with the MHRA on regulation of AI in the NHS.
