Biography

I am a senior lecturer (associate professor) at Queen Mary University of London, where I co-lead the Social Data Science lab. My research revolves around Social Data Science, interdisciplinary research bridging Computational Social Science and Natural Language Processing. I'm particularly interested in linking online data with events in the real world, among others for tackling problematic issues on the Web and social media that can have a damaging effect on individuals or society at large, such as hate speech, misinformation, inequality, biases and other forms of online harm. Check out my research interests for more.

I have published 130+ papers (50+ journal articles), which as of December 2022 have been cited 5,400+ times (H-index = 36). I serve as academic editor for 6 journals and I'm a regular (S)PC member for conferences in computational social science (WWW, ICWSM, CSCW, WebSci), natural language processing (ACL, EMNLP, COLING) and artificial intelligence (IJCAI, AAAI, WSDM).
