Researcher biography
Human papillomavirus associated oropharyngeal cancer - utilisation of machine learning algorithms as a tool for prognostication based on PET-CT
Aveechal is a medical professional and researcher currently pursuing a Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland’s Centre for Advanced Imaging, focusing on the application of machine learning algorithms for prognostication in human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal cancer using PET-CT imaging. His academic background includes a Master of Surgical Sciences from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from The University of Queensland. He has contributed to multiple research projects, including studies on predicting new-onset atrial fibrillation post-acute myocardial infarction, perioperative veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and the timing of surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection. His work has been presented at national and international conferences, such as the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) Annual Scientific Meeting. Aveechal is passionate about advancing medical knowledge through research, teaching, and clinical practice, with a particular interest in integrating innovative technologies like machine learning into healthcare.
