Dr Daqing Chen

I am a Senior Lecturer in Data Science, the Deputy Head of Division of Computer Science and Informatics, and the course director for MSc Data Science. I mainly teach Data Mining and Analytics, and Introduction to Data Science. My research interests include deep learning algorithms and systems with applications in lip-reading, high dimensional data embedding and visualization, medical image diagnosis, high-volume data labelling, and business intelligence.

In recent years, I have conducted several business-oriented projects across a variety of industry sectors, including
Machine-based Learning for Automatic Construction Cost Indexing (the Royal Institution of Charted Surveyors),
M&E cost life-cycle and analytics (The Royal Institution of Charted Surveyors)
Big data/fact-driven decision-making system (London Borough of Lambeth)
RESEARCHER LINK: Smart Technology for Fighting Zika-Virus Epidemics (Remotely and highly distributed sensed data, Analytics and Visual sensing of micro-macro environment health welfare, British Council & FACEPE/FAPITEC Brazil)
Student retention analysis and prediction (London South Bank University),
Donor segmentation for not-for-profit organization (The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, UK), and
Consumer-centric business intelligence for online retailers (The Rex International, Ltd, UK).
