Clare obtained her PhD from Ulster University in Artificial Intelligence for radiographic image interpretation, with focus on the impact of AI on human cognitive processes, including decision making and the impact of user interfaces on trust and automation bias. She has published extensively in well-known, international journals in the fields of AI, human-computer interaction, technology-enabled education and leadership and has contributed to a number of textbooks in the field of AI.

Clare supervises master's and PhD students across a range of topics and disciplines including research into technology use in diverse clinical settings and user interface design. She works with colleagues in medicine, computer science/data analytics and, of course, radiography. Through this she supports and promotes open research principles by mentoring students to publish research and sharing of open access data sets.

Clare is Chair of the Society of Radiographers AI Advisory Board and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences.

Clare is driven by a passion for exploring how technology can be used responsibly to reduce health disparities both nationally and globally to secure parity of care for all and is committed to the future visibility of radiographer research in AI and other emerging technologies.
