HTML and the HTTP protocol are also covered. The course contains a coursework component requiring each student to understand how to develop a distributed application such as an e-commerce platform, implemented using the technologies introduced in the lectures. Introductory Java Programming (BUPT joint programme) Research Research Interests: I am a Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, and a Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. I am Deputy Director of the Institute of Applied Data Science (IADS), I co-lead the Social Data Science Lab (SDS), and am Deputy Director of the DAME PhD programme. My research is in the broad area of Internet Data Science, below I list recent selected publications. More information can be found on my homepage.
