Me: I am now working as a research fellow in Automatic Speech Recognition in the School of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Birmingham. I have recently submitted my thesis for a Ph.D. in Computer Science in the School of Computer Science. Previously I worked as a UNIX and storage systems administrator, systems engineer, systems integrator, analyst programmer,...

Research: My thesis is titled "A Framework for the Analysis and Comparison of Process Mining Algorithms", supervised by Dr. Behzad Bordbar and Dr. Peter Tiňo. The other members of my Thesis Group are Dr. Steve Vickers and Dr. Ata Kabán. My thesis research was funded by the School of Computer Science (EPSRC).

Recent Updates: 29 July 2013: Submitted my thesis! ... and relax!.

March 2013: Started in EECE.

January 2013: Our paper 'A Principled Approach to Mining From Noisy Logs Using Heuristics Miner' is accepted to IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM 2013), Special Session on Process Mining (IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI 2013)).

December 2012: It bears repeating..."Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." --- Gene Fowler.

December 2012: Two days at UK and IE Speech Workshop getting a birds-eye view of the field, and meeting new colleagues. Plenty of open and interesting challenges!

October 2012: I will be joining EECE, University of Birmingham, in early 2013 as a Research Fellow in Computer Speech Recognition. 'Pleased' would be an understatement!

September 2012: Excellent three days teambuilding and networking at the UoB Raymond Priestley Centre with fellow PhD students from CS and EECE.

July 2012: Our paper `Comparing Complex Process Models' is accepted to The IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management. This paper resulted from the work at Etisalat BT Innovation Centre (EBTIC) in Q1 2012.

May 2012: Our paper 'A Framework for the Analysis of Process Mining Algorithms' is accepted to IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics (Part A).

February-May 2012: I spent three interesting months working on identifying, quantifying and visualising significant differences between business process models, under the International Fellowship program at the Etisalat BT Innovation Centre (EBTIC), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

I am trying to keep this page uncluttered. More information on the More About Me page.
