Alexia Sampri

Alexia holds a BEng and MEng in Environmental Engineering by Democritus University of Thrace. During her undergraduate studies she was part of a research team where she focused on Big Data analysis, statistical modelling, infodemiology and Internet behaviour. Then she moved to Scotland and completed a MSc in Big Data with distinction, at the University of Stirling. For her dissertation, she applied unsupervised learning techniques to predict water quality parameters using remote sensing data.

Whilst in Stirling, she decided to undertake the exciting opportunity to join the Centre for Health Informatics in the University of Manchester. She started her PhD on Health Informatics which was supervised by Prof Peek, Prof Geifman and Dr Couch, and funded by EPSRC. Her research focused on probabilistic methods to integrate structured biomedical data.

During her PhD, she co-authored research papers, was management committee member in different European Networks, participated in training schools, completed Short Term Scientific Missions and presented her research on multiple international and national meetings, symposia and conferences. She was also involved in teaching of many UG and PG courses which led her to obtain a Fellowship by Advance HE.
