Matt Williams
Career History
Matt Williams joined the ACL in March 2004 as a Clinical Research Fellow to provide clinical input to the CREDO project.
His main research interests are automated argument production and clinical motivated
descriptions of uncertainty.
He initially studied Medicine at Birmingham University (1993-1999) where he
also did an intercalated degree in Pharmacology.
After graduation, he worked in the West Midlands and then in London, doing
SHO jobs in Lewisham, the Hammersmith and Charing Cross. After gaining his
MRCP, he went to Liverpool to do the DTM&H. He then spent a year at the
Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital in The Gambia, where he was A&E Consultant
and acting Head of Dept., and helped found the country's first
oncology service.
He has recently been appointed as a Specialist Registrar in Clinical
Oncology, but has temporarily left the programme to take up the position in
the lab.
He is also a tutor for the Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons' Diploma in Medical Informatics and is (slowly) studying for a BA in Maths with the Open University.
Research interests
Before coming to the lab, Matt's interests were in theoretical linguistic and mathematical approaches to medicine and diagnostic test performance. His clinical interests are in oncology and palliative care, especially in relation to the developing world, and he is a founder and trustee of the charity, Health Gambia.Publications
