About me

I am a third year PhD Candidate in the Department of Computer Science. I am working with Prof Rob Procter and Prof Maria Liakata as my main supervisors. My main interests lie in the field of natural language processing and machine learning with applications in digital journalism. My work focuses on automatic summarisation for social media platforms.

When I am not doing research, I enjoy reading books and baking.
