Dr Gilani is a Senior Lecturer and the Raine Robson Fellow in the School of Science. He is the Co-lead of the Technology and Innovation theme at ECU Nutrition and Health Innovation and Research Institute (NHIRI) and a member of School of Science Centre for AI & ML (CAIML).

Background

Dr Gilani’s research focus is on advancing the applications of explainable artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms in the field of medical science. His primarily concentrates on developing automated methods to detect Abdominal Aortic Calcification from low resolution DXA scans and 3D face analysis with applications to detecting Autism and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. Dr Gilani also plays an active role in leading the Technology and Innovation Theme at the Nutrition & Health Innovation Research Institute (NHIRI) and is a core member of Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CAIML) at ECU. His contributions have been widely recognized in the research community, with many of his publications appearing in Q1 (top 10%) and A* (CORE Ranking) journals and conferences such as Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Proceedings of Royal Society (Biology), Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions (MIICAI) and Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) - the globally top-rated peer-reviewed conference in the field of computer vision. He has secured over 2 million dollars in funding from 8 local and national competitive grants. As an active researcher in the field, Dr Gilani regularly reviews papers for top-tier journals and conferences and regularly gives presentation/ seminars for the general public to make them aware of the latest research in his field.
