معرفی
Vinod Kumar Chauhan Kumar is a Strathclyde Chancellor's Fellow in AI (Lecturer rank) in the Faculty of Science at the University of Strathclyde. He concurrently holds a Visiting Scholar position and the MPLS Enterprise and Innovation Fellowship (2025–26) at the University of Oxford.
Education:
- PhD in Optimisation for Large-Scale Machine Learning, Panjab University, Chandigarh (Awarded 2019)
- Supported by University Grants Commission’s JRF and SRF Fellowships
Research Focus: Dr. Chauhan pioneers data-driven Causal AI for personalized healthcare, bridging Causality, Healthcare, and Artificial Intelligence. His work develops novel methods for treatment effect estimation, bias correction in healthcare ML, and graph-based EHR analysis, with applications in gastric disease prediction and industrial optimization. The UN Sustainable Development Goals framework guides his healthcare impact initiatives.
Publication Trends: Recent work (2023-2025) demonstrates three converging thrusts: (1) causal inference frameworks for composite treatments/outcomes in healthcare, (2) graph neural networks for EHR analysis (e.g., CliqueFluxNet), and (3) industrial AI applications. Over 30% of his publications address healthcare bias challenges, while 25% focus on handwriting recognition for Indic scripts.
Scientific Recognition:
- Institute for Manufacturing Postdoctoral Award for Research Excellence (2021)
- Student Travel Grant Award (2017)
Academic Service: Dr. Chauhan actively mentors future researchers and currently seeks PhD students for causal AI projects. He has reviewed 200+ articles across 50+ venues and serves as Associate Editor for PLOS Digital Health and Editorial Board Member for the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare. His NeurIPS AI4Science Area Chair role highlights community leadership.
Collaborative Impact: His research integrates academic rigor with real-world validation through partnerships with clinicians and industry leaders including Boeing and Rolls-Royce, developed during six years of postdoctoral work at Oxford and Cambridge.
