Sean Cavanagh

I have extensive experience in machine learning analyses with large datasets. I have applied these skills to a range of clinical problems, spanning paediatric orthopaedics and psychiatry, including:

- developing predictive models for outcomes in patients with congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV);
- evaluating the psychometric properties of a new psychiatric survey for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD);
- using generalised linear modelling to examine the effects of group CBT for BDD.
