- Profile

My research interests can broadly be defined as knowledge acquisition from data. This has primarily focused on the use of Machine Learning, initially applied in the field of Natural Language Processing, developing techniques for Text Classification and Information Extraction from large-scale text repositories and Collective Intelligence from social media messages.
More recent work has focused on the understanding of individual and population movements. Modelling air-travel data, to identify mobility patterns indicative of criminal activity, such as drug and human trafficking; and using mobile device sensor data to understand how contextual factors (e.g., weather, journey purpose) influence mobility, for health and well-being.
