Dr. Pratheepan Yogarajah is a Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Ulster, affiliated with the School of Computing, Engineering and Intelligent Systems (Derry~Londonderry campus). He has held academic roles since 2007, including Research Associate and Teaching Assistant, and has contributed over 20 peer-reviewed publications. His research focuses on biometrics, computer vision, and machine learning with applications in healthcare and security.
Yogarajah holds a PhD from Ulster University (2015), an MPhil in Computer Vision from Oxford Brookes University (2006), and a first-class honours degree in Computer Science from the University of Jaffna (2001). He is a member of the British Computer Society (BCS) and IEEE.
His research interests span biometric identification, medical image analysis (e.g., cervical cancer screening, cardiac MRI segmentation), and explainable AI. Notable achievements include patents filed, HMGCC scholarship (2005), and grants from Ulster University (PoP 2012) and Invest NI (PoC 2013).
Recent work emphasizes AI-driven healthcare solutions, including lead toxicity prediction in maternal health, glaucoma detection via retinal imaging, and autism spectrum disorder classification via gait analysis. He actively explores multimodal medical imaging fusion and deep learning model interpretability.
Yogarajah has collaborated on projects like ChPOS (non-contact heart rate estimation) and MMC-Net (cardiac MRI segmentation). He maintains an active publication record with contributions to conferences like IEEE and journals in medical AI and computer vision.
