Vanya Valindria

Vanya Valindria is an Assistant Professor at Monash University specializing in Artificial Intelligence applications for medical diagnostics, with active supervision of PhD students in machine learning for medical image analysis.

Her academic foundation includes a Doctoral degree in Artificial Intelligence from Imperial College London (2015–2019), where her thesis investigated machine learning approaches for whole-body scan analysis.

Her research centers on AI-driven medical image interpretation, particularly tuberculosis detection from chest radiographs using advanced neural architectures. She extends this work into generative AI for marketing applications and critically examines ethical frameworks for global healthcare AI, with strong emphasis on feminist perspectives and data politics in algorithmic systems.

Publication trends reveal a strategic shift from pure technical innovation toward socio-technical integration, combining hybrid deep learning models (Vision Transformers with CNNs) with ethical implementation studies in resource-limited settings like Indonesia.

She actively mentors PhD candidates while contributing extensively to academic service through peer review for Medical Image Computing conferences and leadership in the 'Advancing AI Capacity in Indonesian Universities' initiative, which trains faculty across 15+ institutions in AI curriculum development.
