Research Interests

Learning from Networked Data, Inductive Logic Programming, Ensemble Methods

Current Project

I am a member of the Applied Research Team at the University of Bristol, a group of researchers from five different University of Bristol departments (Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Engineering Mathematics, Experimental Psychology , Mathematics) financed by GCHQ and the University of Bristol.

The Computer Science project "Infomation Integration and Data Mining" aims to develop methods for integrating and mining heterogeneous digital information from a wide variety of sources including newsgroups postings, on-line scientific papers, and web repositories. Tasks such as mining and learning from networked data, entity deduplication, and the identification of atypical data, are the main focus of this project.

General Background

Before I came to Bristol, I was a lecturer (2004-2005) in the Computer Science department of UEA, Norwich, and a Research Associate in the Computer Science Department of Magdeburg University (2000-2003) and Bonn University (2003-2004). I received my PhD from Bonn University, Germany.

Academic Activities

Organised Events

I am one of the guest editors of the "Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering" Special Issue of AI Communications Journal

I co-organised the Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering Symposium as part of the AISB'06: Adaptation in Artificial and Biological Systems
