I am a first year PhD student in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, supervised by Joemon Jose. I am a member of the Information Retrieval group, where my main interests include social media, event detection, and user profiling.

I am also the developer of a popular Android based writing app called Writer, and member of the Glasgow CompSoc.

  • Rather than politicians bitching at companies for avoiding paying tax, how about they do their job and fix the tax laws?
  • The fact that Google Play Music allows me to create a library, rather search for music every time, is enough to make me switch.
  • Actually rather exciting about Google I/O tomorrow, even if everything does seem to have leaked beforehand.
  • The fact that I spend all day, every day, staring into bright monitors probably doesn't help.
