Hi! My name is Ryutaro, and I’m a research scientist at Google DeepMind.
My research focuses on developing high-performance machine learning algorithms which are risk-aware, interpretable and robust for safe use in healthcare applications.
Previously, I was in the Healthcare Intelligence group at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Before that, I was a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at UCL where I was supervised by Daniel C. Alexander at CMIC UCL and Antonio Criminisi at Amazon Cambridge (my CV last updated 12/20/2021).
In the last few years, I have also had the fortune to get involved in startups at different stages of maturity. Between Dec 2016 and May 2018, I worked part-time at ThinkSono as one of the starting members, where I co-developed the prototype of a real-time deep-learning based system for detecting deep vein thrombosis in ultrasound videos. The company was selected by the Bayer accelerator in 2017 as one of the top 4 digital health startups out of >450 applications received across the globe. I subsequently spent the summer of 2018 as a research intern at Butterfly Network, a NY-based unicorn that develops an intelligent and portable ultrasound probe. Since April 2019, I have been consulting for SyntheticGestalt, a drug discovery startup based in Tokyo.
This year, I am co-organising the workshop on Uncertainty and Safety in Medical Imaging at MICCAI 2022, Singapore. Follow us on Twitter for updates :)
