Research interests
Hayden’s research focuses on medical image analysis, computational imaging, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). In particular, his work as part of the COVID-Net initiative focuses on explainable COVID-19 diagnosis and severity prediction using CT images, as well as weakly-supervised COVID-19 infection segmentation. As part of the Cancer-Net initiative, he focuses on the development and application of synthetic correlated diffusion imaging (CDIs) for cancer detection and clinical decision support.
