Senior Research Fellow with ICL, Imperial Global Singapore, Honorary Lecturer with University of Manchester
Hi, I am Viktor, AI researcher. My research interests lie in the application of Language Technology (such as Large Language Models) to various specialist domains, such as healthcare.
I am concerned with questions such as
- What are the specific challenges of different domains and which fundamental capabilities are required?
- How can we adapt Language Technology solutions to address these challenges adequatly?
- How can we robustly evaluate these adaptation capabilities and how representative are these evaluations of real-world scenarios?
Currently, I am based in Singapore where I work with Imperial College London on algorithms for security and privacy to address the challenges of confidentiality and data sharing in the context of healthcare.
Prior to that, I was working with with ASUS AICS in Singapore (2022-2024), where I was conducing research on data-driven intelligent hospital information systems. Before that, I was a lecturer at the University of Manchester (2020-2022). There, I also obtained my PhD in Computer Science, supervised by Dr Riza-Batista Navarro and Prof. Goran Nenadic (2018-2021). Prior to my PhD, I obtained my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Passau (2011-2017) and I worked at Siemens ProductCERT in Munich (2016-2017).
