Dr Ryan McConville was appointed a Lecturer in Data Science, Machine Learning and AI within the Intelligent Systems Laboratory and Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Bristol in September 2019.

He gained his PhD working with the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) at Queen’s University Belfast in 2017 where he researched large scale unsupervised machine learning for complex data. He has worked with inter-disciplinary academic and industrial partners on numerous projects, including large-scale fraud detection and large-scale pervasive personal behaviour analysis for clinical decision support. His research interests lie around unsupervised machine learning, deep learning on multimodal and complex data with applications to social network analysis, recommender systems, healthcare and cybersecurity.
