Isaac is currently applying Artificial Intelligence to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, whilst also solving technical challenges in the field of Computer Science. His primary research interest is studying Artificial Intelligence (AI) – a field concerned with creating algorithms that can accomplish tasks that are typically only completed by humans. Specifically, he is interested in how these algorithms learn to mimic complex human capabilities. As an advocate of using AI within the medical industry, Isaac is also interested in leveraging these technologies to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare.

He will use his Fulbright Scholarship to pursue these interests via postgraduate studies, whilst also exploring how AI research is rapidly applied to industry challenges within the United States. Ultimately, he intends to improve the standard of Australian healthcare by applying this knowledge to analogous problems within the Australian
medical industry.
