Portrait of Hugh O'Brien

Hugh O'Brien

PhD student (previous member) · Imperial College London · joined 2018, until 2022

Hugh O’Brien graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a BA in Psychology and Imperial College London with an MSc in Computer Science. He also completed a MRes in Imaging Science at King’s College London. In between he worked at PLOS on some of their flagship journals. Prior to starting his PhD Hugh was a software engineer at Overleaf, a collaborative science writing platform for LaTeX.

His PhD at CEMRG, from 2018 to 2022, focused on machine learning based approaches to improve the viability of CT for invasive cardiac procedure guidance with an initial focus on infarct region localisation. His next role was as senior bioinformatics scientist in Achilles Therapeutics.
