Haochen Cui
DPhil Student
Haochen began his journey in clinical medicine in 2018 as a student in the Clinical Medicine 8-year program at Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and has since obtained his medical practice license in China.
Alongside his clinical training, he became actively involved in clinical research, with a particular focus on applying artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance clinical diagnosis, treatment management, and prognosis prediction. Through his work, he came to realize that the clinically impactful AI requires close collaboration between clinicians and AI engineers, and that researchers with expertise bridging both fields can play a key role in advancing more sophisticated medical AI models.
In 2025, Haochen joined the research team of Professor David Eyre and Professor A. Sarah Walker at the Oxford Big Data Institute as a DPhil student. His research focuses on optimizing the surveillance and treatment of infectious diseases with AI and Big Data.
