Emma Byrne's profile
What I do
I am currently employed as a visiting research fellow at the school of Primary Care and Population Sciences at University College London, where I am performing the evaluation of data quality in the NHS Summary Care Record IT project.

Interests
Recent research activities include: the development of a framework to identify interesting news that is logically inconsistent with expectations concerning the behaviour of entities in the real world (PhD work, supervised by Dr Anthony Hunter); a logical framework for template creation and information extraction (with colleagues from the Bioinformatics group at University College London); analysis through Argumentation of the policymaking process in an NHS Primary Care Trust (with the UCL Evidence Science Group); and the development of a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm optimiser for experiment flow with the Robot Scientist group at Aberystwyth University (formerly University of Wales, Aberystwyth).
I am hoping to move into the field of computational neuroscience – EPSRC panel permitting!
Projects
Man Bites Dog: a logical framework for identifying interesting news.
The Robot Scientist: an autonomous, closed loop system for discovery in yeast genomics.
A logical framework for automatic template discovery for text extraction.
The official evaluation of the UK NHS Summary Care Record.
