CURRENT RESEARCH
Aloysius' research interests include data re-representation techniques and risk predictive analytics for clinical decision support systems, which was introduced to him by his UCL lecturer Dr Paul Taylor of the Health Informatics Department. His PhD thesis, which is based on this concept, proved that most of current Internet based heart pressure predictive systems (CVD) give erroneous values because incorrect predictive algorithms are used by the epidemiologists (see e-book).
At City University, Aloysius developed intelligent software agent based computational models for e-commence operation. He used an idea being to combine a variety of 'risk equations' developed by epidemiologists into an overall measure. Dr Edoh has published many papers and ebooks documents; he has published in journals and conference papers such as IEEE conference and Springer. Again, he is member of programme committee of international conferences, for example the security at Thessaloniki.
Dr Edoh was one of the main researchers on the team that worked on the £50,000 Diagnostic Feedback tool for Virtual Learning Environment Higher Education Funded by the Council for England (HEFCE) E-Learning Fund.
Aloysius is a member of the BCS AGILE group and has a Scrum Agile Project Management Certificate, London.
