Yan Chen

Dr. Chen have a background in Computer Science and Information Science coupled with Human Factors and Che apply my knowledge to assist health professionals perform tasks to the best of their abilities, particularly in the radiology domain. I completed a BEng degree in Computer Science at Central South University, China and an MSc in Information Science at Sheffield University, Following this I came to Loughborough University where I became fascinated by Radiology and started my PhD studying the performance of radiologists during breast cancer screening. Dr. Chen then completed a PhD on ‘Intelligent Computing Applications Based on Eye Gaze: their role in mammographic interpretation training’. During this time I carried out numerous experiments; both across the UK and also in America and China, where Dr. Chen examined aspects of radiological behaviour when inspecting breast screening mammograms. During this research Dr. Chen became involved in the PERFORMS breast screening project and started to work as a Research Associate on the project from 2010. In 2012 Dr. Chen was appointed the Research Manager of this project as well as becoming a Senior Research Associate.
