Hi! Welcome to my webpage. I am a researcher in machine learning and data science. I also have interests in the areas of social network analysis, dimensionality reduction, itinerary recommendation, integrated optimisation-machine learning approaches and network security.

Contact me if you cannot access a paper or interested in doing research with me. Always happy to discuss and looking for opportunities to supervise or/and collaborate.

Recruiting Students

I’m recruiting PhD and Honours students. If you are are interested in working with me in one of my areas (see research projects and publications ) and have excellent results, please don’t hesitate in contacting me. There are a number of scholarships (APA, IPRS, RPIS, RPS, VCPS) and funded places available.

My Publications are available here.

Code and datasets are available here.
