I am working on many aspects related to information retrieval. From 2002 to 2007, I co-led the INEX initiative, which is the evaluation forum for XML retrieval. I have now started to work on aggregated search and bridging the digital divide. I am currently getting back into theoretical information retrieval where I am looking at the use of quantum theory to model information retrieval.
I currently hold a Microsoft/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Information Retrieval in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow. Before joining Glasgow, I was a Professor of Information Retrieval in the Department of Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London. I am currently the ACM SIGIR Vice Chair.
