Dr Lei Zhang

I am a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science, University of Exeter.  A member of the AI for healthcare research group. My work focuses on developing scalable and interpretable AI solutions that are theoretically robust, practically applicable, and beneficial to healthcare professionals and patients. My dedication lies in applying AI techniques, particularly in Multimodal, Interpretable, and Causal AI, to address complex healthcare challenges. I have been pivotal in securing grants and driving development in numerous multidisciplinary projects, including those funded by EPSRC, Innovate UK, BBSRC, and CRUK, etc.

Currently, I work as an AI research scientist in hospitals and clinics, where I provide consultancy on technical AI solutions, lead the development of scientific algorithms, and create commercial software tools to address challenging healthcare problems. My leadership in interdisciplinary teams fosters the exchange of knowledge and skills across different domains.
