Meet the Lecturer: Dr Ludovica Brusaferri
Wondering how studying AI at LSBU prepares you for the real world? It’s all about learning from experts who are shaping the future of the field—like Dr Ludovica Brusaferri.
Ludovica teaches on both the BSc Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) and MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence courses.
🎓 From world-class research to the classroom
Dr Brusaferri is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Imaging and teaches on LSBU’s Artificial Intelligence courses. She is a global researcher who has trained at UCL and Harvard Medical School in medical imaging from both methodological and clinical perspectives, and is now expanding her work through the integration of artificial intelligence.
Her research background doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it feeds directly into your learning experience on our undergraduate BSc in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence. That means you don’t just learn what AI is—you learn how it’s used in cutting-edge research and real-world settings.
🤖 What this means for you as a student
- Research-led teaching: Modules like machine learning, neural networks, and data science are taught by academics like Ludovica, who bring their latest findings and industry knowledge into your lectures and lab sessions.
- Stronger foundations: You’ll build the critical maths and statistics knowledge behind AI models (think algebra, calculus, and probability)—the same skills Ludovica uses in her research every day.
- Real-world context: Whether it’s healthcare, smart cities, or digital security, you'll explore how AI is being applied right now—and where your skills could take you next.
👩🏫 A teaching style that inspires
Ludovica’s teaching isn’t just about technical know-how. She’s passionate about helping students become curious, confident thinkers who can tackle complex problems with creativity, precision and competence.
Her modules focus on:
- Understanding the 'why' behind AI models—not just running code, but grasping the mathematical foundations
- Research skills—so you can design experiments, question assumptions, and present your ideas backed up by theoretical knowlrdge
🚀 Why it matters
At LSBU, your undergraduate AI degree isn’t just about learning what’s in the textbooks. It’s about being taught by researchers like Ludovica who are actively shaping the future of AI—and bringing that future into your classroom.
You’ll graduate with:
- A strong technical foundation
- Exposure to real research and practical problems
- The mindset to keep learning, innovating, and leading in the AI space
“I want students to leave LSBU not just ready to use AI—but ready to shape its future.” – Dr Ludovica Brusaferri
