I have recently moved to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (see my profile here), and am currently recruting PhD students. Please feel free to reach out! My research is in the broad area of Internet Data Science: details of my publications can be found here. Over the last 5 years, I have been awarded over £5 million in research funding and have received coverage from news outlets such as Washington Post, CNBC, BBC, New Scientist, MIT Tech Review, The Times, Slashdot, Daily Mail, Wired, Science Daily, Ars Technica, The Independent, Business Insider, The Register, as well as being interviewed on both TV and Radio. I have also served as an organising and program committee member for a number of prominent conferences such as ACM SIGCOMM, ACM SIGMETRICS, ACM IMC, ACM WWW, ACM CoNEXT, IEEE ICDCS and AAAI ICWSM. I have hosted ACM IMC and ACM DEV in London, and have recieved the Outstanding Reviewer Award four times at ICWSM (2016, 2018, 2019, 2021); and the Distinguished Reviewer Award at ACM CoNEXT (2022). I established the Next Generation Networking (NGN) Webinar Series, and organise the UK's annual 'Coseners' workshop. Alongside collaborators, my research has been awarded the IETF/IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize 2023; the WOAH Shared Task on Hateful Memes Prize 2021; the Best Student Paper Award at the Web Conference 2020; the Best Paper Award at eCrime'19; the Honourable Mention Award at the Web Conference 2018 (best paper in track); and the Best Presentation Award at INFOCOM'18. I received QMUL's Faculty Research Excellence Award in 2021 and the Brendan Murphy Memorial Young Researcher Prize in 2013.
I am currently recruting fully-funded PhD positions at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. I supervise PhDs in the (broad) areas of social computing, data science and computer systems. Most of my projects involve a lot of data collection and analysis, so a real-world focus is a must. Please drop me a mail if you're interested in brainstorming topics. I have also been teaching the following modules:
