About Doctor

Dr Ivan graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a B.Eng.(Hons) and then M.B.,B.S. before completing his PhD with the NUS Graduate School for Integrative Sciences and Engineering (NGS). After admission as a Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists (UK) and completing the SingHealth Diagnostic Radiology Residency programme, he now spends time as a neuroradiologist at the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and as a scientist at the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR). He works on translating advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning into impactful clinical applications for the healthcare ecosystem.
