Brief Bio
Thanasis studied Engineering for his undergraduate and MSc degrees and completed a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Oxford (2012). He continued working at the University of Oxford as a Research Fellow in Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics (2012-2016), Stipendiary Lecturer in Engineering Science (2014-2016), and Lecturer in Statistical Research Methods (2016-2019); he joined the Usher Institute, Edinburgh Medical School, University of Edinburgh in January 2017 on a prestigious tenure-track Chancellor’s Fellowship. He secured tenure a year early, in December 2019, and was promoted to Associate Professor in Data Science (May 2020). Thanasis founded and leads the inter-disciplinary Data Analytics Research and Technology in Healthcare (DARTH) group (www.darth-group.com). He received the Andrew Goudie award (top PhD student across all disciplines, St. Cross, University of Oxford, 2011), the EPSRC Doctoral Prize award (2012), won the annual Physionet competition on 'Predicting mortality of ICU patients' (2012, as a key member of the Oxford biomedical engineering team) the young scientist award (MAVEBA, 2013), the EPSRC Statistics and Machine Learning award (2015), and won a ‘Best reviewer award’ from the IEEE Journal of Biomedical Health Informatics (2015). One of his research papers has been highlighted as a ‘key scientific article’ in Renewable Energy and Global Innovations, whilst some of his work has been covered in the media including Reuters. He leads the development and delivery of the 'Clinical Decision Support and Actionable Data Analytics' theme in the NHS Digital Academy, an innovative leadership programme in the UK which aims to annually train 100 CIOs and CCIOs and transform the NHS. He sits on the Editorial Boards of JMIR Mental Health and JMIR mHealth and uHealth. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.

SCOPE
Administrative healthcare data provide large and panoramic views of national populations, which can be harnessed to provide evidence-based clinical assessment towards diagnosis, monitoring, and phenotyping. These come from a variety of sources, including primary and secondary care encounters, prescribing records, and disease registries. This special session will cover new developments towards mining administrative healthcare data, including methodology studies, impact assessments, and reviews of ethical considerations.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Methods for Data Extraction from Administrative Healthcare Resources
- Estimating Medication Adherence
- Prognostic Modelling from Administrative Healthcare Data
- Diagnostic Modelling from Administrative Healthcare Data
- Disease Phenotyping from Administrative Healthcare Data
- Anonymisation and Security in Administrative Healthcare Data
- Real-life Digital Health/Biomedical Interventions
- Clinical Decision Support Systems
