Kevin Dick

Dr. Dick’s research bridges biomedical informatics, machine learning, and high-performance computing to design scalable, interpretable, and clinically integrated AI systems. Their work spans multimodal model development, health data interoperability, and the creation of next-generation AI infrastructures capable of linking provincial and national health data securely. He has pioneered frameworks which advance explainability, reproducibility, and transparency in population screening and medical AI.

As a mentor and collaborator, they supervise interdisciplinary teams of trainees, researchers, and engineers to advance theoretical AI methodology and develop real-world AI applications that enhance early screening, diagnosis, and patient outcomes. He is deeply committed to open science, equity in AI applications, and the responsible evolution of medical AI systems.

Dr. Dick earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering and is the recipient of the Governor General’s Gold Medal. Their long-term vision is to build federated, ethically grounded AI ecosystems that transform how population health data is analyzed, shared, and acted upon to improve care across Canada and beyond.
