Haiping Lu

I am a Professor of Machine Learning and AI Strategy Lead at the Department of Computer Science, and Insigneo Research Director for Healthcare Data / AI, the University of Sheffield. I am also the Turing Network Development Award Lead at Sheffield, and the lead organiser of the Alan Turing Institute’s interest group on meta-learning for multimodal data. I lead the development of a course on An Introduction to Transparent Machine Learning, part of the Alan Turing Institute’s online learning courses in responsible AI.

My research focuses on developing translational AI technologies for better analysing multimodal data in healthcare and beyond, particularly multidimensional data and heterogeneous graphs in bioinformatics and medical imaging. I lead the development of the PyKale library to provide more accessible machine learning from multiple sources for interdisciplinary research, officially part of the PyTorch ecosystem.
