I'm a senior lecturer (associate professor) at Queen Mary University of London. My research revolves around Social Data Science, interdisciplinary research bridging NLP and Computational Social Science. 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 and inequality.
