CV

Here is a full cv for download in pdf format.

If you are interested in a high-level summary of my research interests and ambitions why not watch a video Search Engines of the Future: The Pharos project. (iTunes U, 6:15 min, 2009)? There is also a magazine article about the research of my group: A picture is worth a thousand words. (Enterprise Information cover feature, Inside Knowledge, 11(8), 2008)

Below I have selected some representative publications of my research activities, which are firmly rooted in the area of automated processing of multimedia with a view of facilitating multimedia search and browsing in digital libraries and beyond. The relevant research contributes to — and is informed by — machine learning, computer vision and artificial intelligence.
