About
Hi there! My name is Jennifer, and welcome to my website!
Background
I’m a senior research software engineer at UCL. I work between the Institute of Health Informatics and the UCLH BRC Clinical Research Informatics Unit (CRIU) on designing and implementing AI-driven solutions in healthcare, in particular, applying natural language processing (NLP) for data extraction applications in electronic health record systems (EHRs).
I lead the software development on the MiADE (Medical information AI Data Extractor) project, an NLP system which supports the automatic extraction of structured data from real-time clinical notes. MiADE is currently deployed as a research service at UCLH and Great Ormond Street Hospitals (GOSH). I am also the technical lead on using large language models (LLMs) to optimise diagnoses extractions as part of a UKRI AI Innovation research project.
In July 2024, I founded .implement, a software and consulting company specialising in building developer tools for AI and NLP applications in healthcare. Having worked at the unique intersection of research and software development in the NHS, I believe there is a need for more robust and transparent testing, evaluation, and orchestration tools for AI applications in healthcare.
Previously, I was one of the first two hires on the developer team to launch Grow Football, a computer vision-powered football coaching app with partnerships to Tottenham Hotspur.
I hold an MSc in Computer Science from Imperial College London and an MSc in Clinical Neuroscience from University College London. I briefly worked in research on the neural basis of spatial navigation at the Barry lab, where my interest in software and machine learning first developed. This led me to apply to one of the most selective computer science conversion degrees, where I dabbled in deep learning and brain-computer interfaces. You can find my thesis here.
In my spare time I enjoy weightlifting (my goal is to snatch 50kg), arthouse cinema (my letterboxd), and making my cat an influencer (follow @ladywhiskerson!)
