Biography
I'm a Professor in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, where I head the 60-strong Information, Data and Analysis (IDA) Section, regrouping researchers in information retrieval, machine learning, data systems and computer vision. I also lead the Terrier Team, a group of researchers working on the development and evaluation of novel large-scale text information retrieval techniques and applications. I'm an Associate Editor at the ACM Transactions on Information Systems. I have been awarded the 2022 Tony Kent Strix Award.
I have published over 200 papers in the general areas of information retrieval, recommender systems and big data systems. I have also supervised numerous PhD students and postdoctoral research assistants over the years. I'm the principal investigator of the renowned high-performance and scalable Terrier search engine, the open source version of which has been widely used across the world by both academia and industry. I led various international research initiatives (e.g. the Blog & Microblog tracks within TREC, NIST (USA); the NTCIR Math IR task initiative (Japan)) and many UKRI/EU and industry-funded projects. I'm on the program committees of all major information retrieval conferences and related events, served on the Editorial Boards of the Information Processing & Management and ACM Transactions on Information Systems journals, and serve on the advisory or steering committees of a number of initiatives (e.g. ESSIR). I regularly give keynotes/invited talks both at international conferences and industry-facing events.
I have served as Deputy Director/Director of Knowledge Exchange at the Scottish Informatics & Computer Science Alliance (SICSA), and I have been involved in The Data Lab Innovation Centre, funded by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), as a member of its Governance Board as well as a member of its Innovation Advisory Group.
Prior to joining the University of Glasgow in 1999, I have been a research fellow at the National University of Singapore, and a postdoctoral researcher at CLIPS-IMAG, France. I hold a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France and an MSc in Computer Science & AI from ENSIMAG, National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble.
