I joined KMi as research associate in Oct 2011 after receiving my PhD in computing from the University of Exeter. My PhD study focused on developing statistical topic models for sentiment analysis from the Web.

My current research effort is mainly devoted to developing theoretically principled machine learning models for social media analysis and semantic Web applications.
