About Me

I'm Chinedu Uzim — an AI Researcher, Data Scientist, and Statistician based in the UK, building intelligent systems that address real-world challenges in food security, healthcare, and sustainability. Currently pursuing a PhD at Leeds Beckett University, my research focuses on causal, predictive, and proactive AI for sustainable agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. I'm also a published researcher and the creator of SmartSkan, an AI-powered medical scan recommendation system featured by Skannr.com.

PhD Research

Causal, predictive & proactive AI for sustainable food security — connecting climate variability to policy in Sub-Saharan Africa.

SmartSkan

Built Skannr's intelligent symptom-to-scan AI system — hybrid medical rules + Google Gemini AI. Featured in Skannr's press spotlight.

Data Science

Behind SmartSkan with Chinedu Uzim

Skannr spoke with Chinedu about developing SmartSkan — balancing AI innovation with patient safety and building a seamless experience connecting users to real scan providers.

"The challenge was creating an AI system that could understand everyday symptom descriptions and translate them into accurate scan recommendations — while ensuring patient safety remained the top priority."
"I built a hybrid system combining structured medical rules with Google's Gemini AI. The integration with Skannr's provider network means patients see real options with pricing and booking instantly."
