On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we invite you to an Science & Innovation Dialogue Event hosted by our partners from British Embassy – “Machine Learning in Healthcare: Towards a New Human-Machine Partnership”.
The event is organised by the UK Science and Innovation Network, the British Council, and UNESCO’s International Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, on the topic of “Machine Learning in Healthcare: Towards a New Human- Machine Partnership” at 1600 GMT/1700 CET/1800 EET on 11 February 2022, the UN’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
The keynote speaker at the event will be Prof Mihaela van der Schaar, the John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Medicine at the University of Cambridge.
Mihaela is the John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Medicine at the University of Cambridge, a Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute in London, and a Chancellor’s Professor at UCLA. In addition to leading the van der Schaar Lab, Mihaela is founder and director of the Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine (CCAIM).
Her research interests are on machine learning with applications to medicine, finance and education. She has also worked on data science, network science, game theory, signal and image processing, communication networks, network science and multimedia. Prior to her academic career, she was a Senior Researcher at Philips Research in the Netherlands and USA.
Mihaela is personally credited as inventor on 35 USA patents, many of which are still frequently cited and adopted in standards. She has also made over 45 contributions to international standards for which she received 3 ISO Awards.
She is a leader and mentor in both science and in science communication. She has also organised numerous outreach activities, several of which are dedicated to empowering women in engineering and computer science.
Mihaela recently launched Inspiration Exchange, an online series of engagement sessions aiming to share ideas with young researchers in machine learning for healthcare. To build partnerships with clinicians, she created Revolutionizing Healthcare, a regular online engagement series which now has roughly 400 clinicians from around the world registered to participate.
Mihaela will be joined by a panel of five distinguished European experts for a roundtable discussion on the uses of AI in tackling key healthcare challenges, and how we can move towards a better partnership between humans and machines, followed by questions and answers from the audience.
This will be one event in a series of three “Science & Innovation Dialogues” our organisations will be jointly running on the theme of Artificial Intelligence, across ten countries in the Baltics, Central and Eastern, and Southern Europe. The series aims to highlight science excellence in the UK and in this region; and to facilitate exchange of best practice.
