Andrew studied for his PhD with Leeds University’s Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Diagnosis and Care. The thesis title is: Can Attention-Inspired Artificial Intelligence Provide a Diagnostic Understanding of Colorectal Cancer Imaging Data? This work uses novel AI methods based on human visual attention, to classify tissue patch images, visualise tissue types in a whole-slide image, and to track down regions of cancerous tissue. 

In his earlier career, Andrew was an engineer with BBC North, later retraining as a software developer and working mainly on healthcare systems since 2008. These include the NHS Choices website and Leeds Teaching Hospitals’ electronic health record, PPM+.
