About Me

Hi! I'm a lecturer (UL) at the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University (Sweden). I currently work on the HASTE project. I study problems related to workflows and pipelines for handling streams, scientific datasets, and big data in the cloud, associated optimization problems, especially cloud-edge communication and storage of large matrix streams, with applications in microscopy and systems biology. I teach topics related to programming, big data and cloud computing. I am originally from Cornwall, UK.

• PhD from Cardiff Metropolitan University, with a focus on social media preservation with data mining, NLP, and distributional semantics.
• Concurrently, I worked at the social-media startup Loccit (developing for the LAMP stack).
