Biography

Hen Davidov is a computer scientist with a passion for leveraging artificial intelligence to transform healthcare. Graduating with distinction in Computer Science from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Hen was also honored with the Israeli Planning and Budgeting Committee Awards for Data Science in 2023 and 2024.

Hen's research focuses on developing interpretable and reliable AI models to enhance decision-making in clinical settings. During Hen's Master’s work, supervised by Prof. Yaniv Romano, Prof. Ron Kimmel, and Dr. Gil Shamai, he created statistical wrappers that provide guaranteed, interpretable outputs from prognostic deep learning models, giving healthcare professionals greater confidence in AI-assisted prognoses. Another significant project involved extracting actionable insights from digital pathology models to improve hormone therapy recommendations for cancer patients, paving the way for more precise and personalized care.

Driven by a vision of making advanced medical technologies accessible globally, Hen aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI tools and under-resourced healthcare systems. At Oxford, he plans to pursue a DPhil in Computer Science.
