Research

I have been a post-doctoral researcher for 10 years and am currently the partner manager (for University of Sheffield) for the EU FP7 ICT project SEALS: Semantic Evaluation at Large Scale and work within the Organisations, Information and Knowledge (OAK) Group led by Prof. Fabio Ciravegna. The goal of the SEALS project is to provide an independent, open, scalable, extensible and sustainable infrastructure (the SEALS Platform) that allows the remote evaluation of semantic technologies thereby providing an objective comparison of the different existing semantic technologies. This will allow researchers and users to effectively compare the available technologies, helping them to select appropriate technologies and advancing the state of the art through continuous evaluation. I am involved with WPs 1-8 and 13; I am Work Package (WP) Leader for WPs 3 and 13 and sit on the Executive Project Management Board. I am responsible for the organisation and execution of the two global SEALS evaluation campaigns as well as leading the team responsible for the evaluation of semantic search technologies.

I am also a member of the Speech and Hearing Research Group and have interests in sound perception, audio processing and audio archive management.
