Bio
Arron holds a BSc in Physics, an MSc and MRes in Computer Science and a PhD in Health Data Science at Swansea University. Arron has 10 years of experience conducting Neurology and Cardiovascular research at the SAIL databank and more recently led the Natural Language Processing group at Swansea University and became a Lecturer in 2019. Since 2014 Arron has been module lead on Machine Learning in Healthcare on the MSc Health Data Science course at Swansea University, and since 2019 two undergraduate modules on the BSc Population Health.
Arron was a Senior Research Community Manager on the Early Detection of Neurodegenerative Diseases (EDoN) initiative led by Alzheimer's Research UK. He hopes to use his experience in Machine Learning to help the EDoN initiative achieve its goal of detecting cognitive decline 10-15 years before symptoms show in the brain, making current treatments more effective. EDoN aims to do this by building a digital toolkit consisting of mobile apps, Fitbit and cutting-edge passive EEG monitoring to help detect signals of early cognitive decline. Arron was part of the Research Community Management team hosted under the Tools, Practices and Systems programme at the Turing and contributed to the Turing Way Project from within the Whitaker Lab.
Currently, he is a Lecturer in Health Data Science and Natural Language Processing at the Swansea University Medical School.
