Bio
James completed his Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering in the Co-op program at Concordia University in 2006. His interest in the human mind later led him to pursue a PhD in computational neuroscience at the Montreal Neurological Institute / McGill University and defended his thesis in 2013. His work entailed building descriptive and predictive mathematical models to help explain phenomena underlying conscious perception of motion. It was while working in the hospital setting during his graduate studies that exposed him to medicine. This led him to complete his MD degree in 2015, and residency training in Radiation Oncology in 2020 at McGill University. After graduation, he joined the Radiation Oncology Department as practicing physician at the Royal Victoria Hospital, and was appointed Assistant Professor in Clinical Oncology at McGill. To further his sub-specialization training, he recently completed a Brachytherapy Fellowship at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard, Boston, 2021, and is currently completing his Professional Master Degree in Artificial Intelligence at MILA / Université de Montréal.
His interests are in the intersection of machine learning and medicine, with the goal to bring artificial intelligence into his oncology research and clinical practice.
