Denisse Kim successfully defends her doctoral thesis

This October, Denisse Kim presented her doctoral thesis titled “Simulation and Visualization of Spatial-Temporal Data in Hospital Infection Outbreaks“.

What’s about…

This doctoral thesis, situated in the field of Medical AI, investigates the generation of synthetic clinical datasets and the application of Information Visualization techniques in decision-support systems to assist in decision-making in hospitals in the face of epidemics situations caused by antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Key contributions of the study carried out include a new simulation model of the activity of hospitalized patients and the spread of an AMR infection among them, which allows obtaining synthetic spatial-temporal datasets on patients, that can be used in Medical AI research. As well as a new interactive visual tool for clinical decision-support systems with individual spatial-temporal information on infections.

Congratulations to Denisse on this great achievement!
