Paulo Lisboa is Professor in Industrial Mathematics in the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences. He heads the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Statistics & Neural Computation Research Group.
He holds cross-Faculty positions as institutional link in the R&D Executive of the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust and as Research Professor in the St. Helen’s and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. He is visiting professor in the Centre for Public Health, chairs the steering committee of the Centre for Health and Social Care Informatics and co-leads the Medicine and Therapeutics network in the Institute for Health Research.
He has over 200 refereed publications and 4 edited books. Since 2001 his research has generated external funding of over £1.25m from the Research Councils, European Commission and longstanding industrial contracts.
He chairs the Task Force on Medical Data Analysis of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Data Mining Technical Committee and co-chairs the International Neural Network Society’s Special Interest Group on Computational Intelligence for the Analysis of Biopatterns, which followed leadership of the Cancer track in a FP6 funded Network of Excellence. He is associate editor for Neural Networks, IET-Science Measurement and Technology, Neural Computing Applications, Applied Soft Computing and Source Code for Biology and Medicine.
He has chaired the Healthcare Technologies Professional Network of the IET and served in the Royal Academy of Engineering’s UK Focus for Biomedical Engineering. He is an expert evaluator for the European Community DG-INFSO and senior consultant with global organisations in the manufacturing, medical devices and clinical research sectors.
After completing a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at Liverpool University in 1983, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Bristol University before joining the electricity generation industry to research into process control, which he taught at Liverpool University from 1987. In 1996 he was appointed to the chair of Industrial Mathematics at Liverpool John Moores University. He was Head of the Graduate School during 2002-7, which carried institutional responsibility for academic standards in postgraduate research programmes and for strengthening the research culture across the University. The role and operation of the Graduate School received a mention for good practice in the 2003 Institutional Audit by the QAA.
