Background

Ashim has a multidisciplinary background in medical image processing, pattern and shape recognition, classification, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, and business management.

His doctoral research developed a lightweight system for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy using retinal image processing, decision-based classification, and artificial intelligence (AI).

As a Fellow of the Higher Education Authority, UK (FHEA), Ashim's research interest is in medical informatics and imaging to develop solutions in the health sectors, applied AI, smart data transformation, algorithms, deep reinforcement learning, and application of AI in immersive technology.
