Research
  • In few words: I am currently interested in various applications of network theory and machine learning in online marketing (on behavioural targeting, personalization and content optimization technologies), such as social network analysis and recommender systems.
  • I am also interested in the fundamental theory and wider applications of complex networks (associate member of UCL's Complex Networks group).
  • In the past, I conducted fundamental research in theoretical physics (complex quantum systems, condensed matter and quantum information science).
  • Publications: can be found here.

Teaching
  • Associate Lecturer in the Open University for the 3rd-level course "Science Project: Radiation and Matter" (current post).
  • Supervisor of final-year projects in Quantum Physics and tutor of the Quantum Computing course in the University of Hertfordshire (former post).

Outreach
  • Member of Sense About Science. This is an independent trust, which responds to the misrepresentation of science.
  • Member of SciTalk, which brings together writers and artists with scientists.
