Academic Achievements
- Significant contributions to the development of trustworthy, safe, and ethical AI systems. Involved in multiple projects funded by JISC, ESRC, and the EU Framework 7. A Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute for Data Science and AI.
Research Experience
- For the past 15 years, my research has focused on AI. This work is complemented by applying data science in the large-scale study of uses of social media, beginning when I led a multidisciplinary team working with the Guardian Newspaper on the Reading the Riots project, analysing tweets sent during the August 2011 riots. This work continued with funding from JISC, ESRC and EU Framework 7 and in my work as a Turing Fellow, where I co-lead the social data science interest group. I collaborated with Dr Alex Voss of St Andrews University and Wire Free Productions, an independent media company, on the BBC Radio 5 Live Hit List, a weekly show covering the top 40 stories in social media. My current AI and data science related research includes: methodologies and practices for the development of trustworthy, safe and ethical AI systems, with applications of AI in public services (e.g., healthcare), government and industry. These include decision-support tools in medical diagnostics, development of tools to assist in policy review and impact assessment, and in policy-making. I am a Co-I on two projects funded by UK RAI on AI ethics and safety, AdSoLve and RAKE. I am also a member Project Bluebird, which is developing agent-based tools for air traffic control.
