Louis Fisher

Health Data Scientist

I am a health data scientist working at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Oxford. My current work centres around the development and use of the OpenSAFELY platform for COVID-19 related research; in particular NHS service analytics to inform the continued pandemic response.

I previously completed my undergraduate and Master's degree at Imperial College London where I focussed on applied machine learing within healthcare; specifically, computer vision applications in Cardiology.
