Dr William Marsh

I am a member of the Machine Intelligence and Decision Systems (MInDS) Research Group and work on decision support problems using Bayesian networks, with applications in medicines and safety.

I enjoy collaborative research and am always interested in new collaborations.

I am a senior lecturer in Computer Science.

Research

My research aims are to develop better ways to build useful risk and decision making techniques, using a combination of data and knowledge (or expertise). I mainly work with Bayesian networks and I prefer to work with 'end users' who are making decisions.

I am currently collaborating with several groups of clinicians to build decision support systems for medical decision problems.
I have also collaborate with several industry groups on techniques for risk models and other aspects of Safety Engineering, primarily in the railway industry.
Earlier work on decision making in Software Engineering also used Bayesian networks, but with less data.

Current and Recent Research Projects

COMBAT-AID Decision support for trauma, in collaboration with the Centre for Trauma Sciences
OSIRIS Better decision making for high-risk surgical patients, in collaboration with the Critical Care & Peri-operative Medicine Research group.
RealmAI decision support for the management of musculo-skeletal (MSK) conditions. Funded under the Newton Links program, collaboration with Professor Dylan Morrissey and Dr Barbaros Yet

Teaching

In 2023/24, I am teaching Embedded Systems (QMUL link) and Statistics for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (QMUL link). I have previously taught Computer Architecture, Systems Analysis, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Specification and Verification and Real-time and Critical System
I supervise projects for postgraduates. Students looking for a supervisor should look at my Project Ideas page.
