Project: Electronic health record-based machine learning for Asthma research Research Fellow overviewProject: Electronic health record-based machine learning for Asthma researchBased at: The University of EdinburghEmail: Yzhang43@ed.ac.uk Image Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research Research Fellow, Yue Zhang This project entails utilizing signal processing and statistical machine learning techniques to analyze asthma data extracted from electronic health records. The aim is to gain insights for assessing, ensuring adherence, and facilitating longitudinal monitoring. Additionally, active collaboration with clinical partners will be maintained to translate research findings into practical applications within clinical practice.About meI completed my PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Leeds. My doctoral research centred on the development of an accurate and reliable Brain-Computer Interface system utilizing EEG signals. Currently, I am a research fellow at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Asthma subtypes clustering and predicting clinical outcomes using electronic health records through machine learning techniques.PublicationsZhang Y, Qian K, Xie SQ, Shi C, Li J, Zhang ZQ.
