Professor in Data Science at the University of Adelaide

I'm a Professor in Data Science at the University of Adelaide. I study how information moves over social networks using mathematical models, coupled with data science and machine learning (natural language processing) techniques. My research interests are in computational social science, human dynamics, online social networks, as well as data assimilation and the mathematics of weather and climate.
