I'm a post-doctoral research associate at the Blender Lab of Queens College, City University of New York. My main research interests lie in the fields of social media and data mining. I'm specifically interested in harnessing user-generated content for the sake of information & real-time data management.
I got my PhD in July 2011, with the thesis Harnessing Folksonomies for Resource Classification. During my post-doctoral research, I have recently investigated with real-time data from microblogging systems such as Twitter, specifically on event detection and trend caracterization on social media.
