I am a Lecturer (~Assistant Professor) in Data Science in the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln, and a member of the Machine Learning Group. Prior to joining Lincoln, I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University College London, where I was with the Media Futures Group and the Centre for Doctoral Training in Financial Computing and Analytics. I am a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Bath School of Management, and an Associate Editor of Electronic Commerce Research and Applications. I have served as reviewer for Information and Management, Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, WWW, SIGIR, AISTATS, WSDM, CIKM, ICANN, etc. Previously, I was a Visiting Scholar at the National University of Singapore, Internship Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge, Data Scientist & Quantitative Consultant in several IT and financial companies.

My research interests are broadly in the overlap among machine learning, data mining and business analytics. I am interested in developing intelligent algorithms and data solutions around three main themes: computational advertising, quantitative finance, and computer information systems. If you are interested in my research or have any suggestions, please get in touch with me.
