My research revolves around Social Data Science, interdisciplinary research bridging Computational Social Science and Natural Language Processing.

I am a senior lecturer (associate professor) at Queen Mary University of London, where I co-lead the Social Data Science lab, I’m a member of the Computational Linguistics Lab and a DERI Fellow. 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. I have published 140+ papers (including 50+ journal articles). I serve in the editorial boards of 7 journals and I’m a regular SPC member for top conferences in computational social science, natural language processing and artificial intelligence.
