His research falls into the broad areas of artificial intelligence and data science, with special emphasis on algorithmic aspects. His recent interests include mining and learning on graphs, natural language processing, and AI in finance. He has been practicing both applied research (with a 10-year work experience in industrial-research environments), and fundamental research (with 80 publications in premier venues such as SIGMOD, VLDB, KDD, ICDM, CIKM, EDBT, WSDM, ECML-PKDD, SDM, TODS, TKDE, TKDD, MACH, DAMI, TNSE, JCSS, PR). He has also been serving the scientific community, by, e.g., being Workshop Chair of ICDM'16, organizing workshops/symposia (MIDAS workshop @ECML-PKDD ['16-'21], MultiClust symposium @SDM'14, MultiClust workshop @KDD'13, 3Clust workshop @PAKDD'12), or being part of the program committee of major AI/data-science conferences (e.g., SIGMOD, KDD, WWW, IJCAI, AAAI, CIKM, SIGIR, ICDM, WSDM, SDM, ECML-PKDD, ICWSM).
