https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3143-279XBiography
I am a Professor of Information Retrieval in the Information Retrieval Group of the Information & Data Analytics Section.
I previously held a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Research Fellowship. I am Director of Research for the School of Computing Science. I hold a PhD (2009) from the University of Glasgow.
Research interests
My research interests are information retrieval and recommender systems. In particular, my research focuses on efficient yet effective retrieval, particularly encapsulating machine learning or deep learning.
My team's research is published in top-tier conference venues such as ACM SIGIR, ECIR, CIKM, RecSys, WWW and WSDM, as well as in journals such as ACM Transactions on Information Systems, Information Processing & Management and the Information Retrieval Journal.
