He has over 20 years’ experience of research and industrial consultancy and secured over £40million of research funding. Known for the creation of EMOTIVE which holds the world’s best f-measure for fine-grained emotion detection. A system that has been able to predict in real-time the outcome of events like US and UK elections through to mental health conditions. His research also includes the pioneering work on the dark side of digital decarbonisation and the impact on the environment; the first model of information overload, and in his earlier career he was nicknamed 'Dr Email' by the BBC for his work on the impact of interrupts in the workplace.
