Pallavi Kaushik
Postdoctoral Researcher
Pallavi Kaushik works in biomedical data science and is a postdoctoral researcher at Oxford Population Health, University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the biological and environmental determinants of aging-related related mechanisms and dementia combining multi-omics data from the UK Biobank with Machine Learning.
Pallavi received a double PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Engineering from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India, respectively. Her doctoral research focused on identifying neurophysiological biomarkers, predicting vulnerability to depression, modelling attention and cognitive states, and exploring sociodemographic influences, with the aim of enabling early detection and informing potential clinical applications in major depressive disorder.
Her broader interests also include AI safety, trustworthy and interpretable machine learning, and responsible AI development. She is particularly interested in building models that are not only accurate, but also robust, transparent, and clinically meaningful.
