Andrew Hamilton-Wright

Dr. Andrew Hamilton-Wright is an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science, University of Guelph, part of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. He is a member of the Centre for Advancing Responsible and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (CARE-AI) and has been at the university since 2017. He holds a PhD from the University of Waterloo (2006) and previously worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Queen’s University and an Associate Professor at Mount Allison University.

His research focuses on machine learning, association mining, and data visualization to support decision-making in healthcare. Key areas include electrophysiological data analysis for disease characterization, fatigue and pain prediction using biophysical signals, and the development of robust software tools for visualizing complex data. He has pioneered work on EMG simulators and models for validating techniques in neuromuscular research.

Notable awards include an NSERC Discovery Grant (2021) and an NSERC Engage Grant (2018). His work has been featured in media coverage, such as CTV News’ report on an iron-tracking app for genetic condition management. He is also affiliated with the OneHealth Institute and editorial boards in scientific journals.

His grants and collaborations include NSERC-funded projects and partnerships with industry. He advises on ergonomic and postural data analysis, with applications in occupational health and safety. His lab focuses on integrating machine learning with biomedical systems to improve clinical decision-making.
