I am a Research Associate at the Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) based at the Open University in Milton Keynes who is currently working on the EU Integrated Project Robust. On this project I lead the work performed on WP3 in which we investigate models for user and community behaviour, allowing users to be categorised based on their behaviour using such models. Research will be conducted into detecting trends in behaviour of both communities and individuals, allowing the evolution of communities to be predicted based on certain distinct features.

Before joining KMi I studied for a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Sheffield under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Ciravegna. My work explored automated disambiguation techniques able to detect web pages referring to a specific person, where such techniques were supported using data leveraged from Social Web platforms - e.g., Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Prior to studying for the Ph.D. I studied for a Masters in Software Engineering in the same department. I am currently studying part time for a BSc in Mathematics and Statistics with the Open University.

My current research interests lie in the following fields:

Semantic Web/Linked Data
Social Web and Digital Identity
Machine Learning
Disambiguation/Coreference Resolution
Automated Prediction/Regression Modelling
