I am visiting principal scientist at Yahoo! Research in Barcelona. My main research topic is concerned with understanding and modelling user engagement. I am also an honorary research fellow at the University of Glasgow.
From September 2008 to December 2010, I held a Microsoft/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Information Retrieval at the University of Glasgow, where I worked on applying the quantum theory formalism to model information retrieval processes. Before joining Glasgow, I was a Professor of Information Retrieval at Queen Mary, University of London, which I joined in January 1999 as a lecturer (aka assistant professor).
