Prof. Dr. Uğur Bilge completed his PhD in Computer Science at University College London in 1993 with a thesis on artificial neural networks. During the 1990s, he worked in the UK as a researcher, consultant, and modeling specialist at UCL and LSE. Since 2003, he has been working in the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine. His research focuses on artificial intelligence in medicine, data mining, bioinformatics, machine learning, complex systems, and agent-based simulation, with applications across clinical fields including cancer, neurological diseases, genetics, and health economics, particularly through the use of artificial intelligence and clinical decision-support systems. In recent years, his work has focused increasingly on artificial intelligence in healthcare and bioinformatics, with numerous publications in these areas. He has also contributed to TÜBİTAK- and university-funded research projects and has given invited talks on artificial intelligence in healthcare at various scientific meetings.
