About Alyaa Alfalahi

Hi, My name is Alyaa Alfalahi. I have studied the masters degree (civ.ing) in computer science at KTH. In the third and fourth year of my education, I have studied information and database technology at DSV. In my master thesis I worked with the annotated patient record, Stockholm EPR Corpus, and I created an algorithm to replace the real name with another real name , which is called pseudonymisation. Now I have been working as project engineer for a project (High-Performance Data Mining for Drug Effect Detection) of the Healtcare analytics and modeling research group. My task is to build up a journal database system from the raw data from Karolinska that is contained in Take Care health record system that will be used in this project.
