I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the
Networks and Operating Systems group, under the supervision of
Dr Cecilia Mascolo.
I am funded by Google,
as a recipient of the Google European Doctoral Fellowship in Mobile Computing.
My research concerns how geographic location and places shape relationships and groups in social networks, online and offline. Not only is this interesting in itself from a sociological perspective, but given the huge popularity of online social networks particularly among mobile users, I think their geographic characteristics should be used to benefit such services and applications.
I am a member of Jesus College and
a representative on the women@CL
committee.
From 2008 to 2011 I was an undergraduate studying the Computer Science Tripos here at the Computer Laboratory in Cambridge.
