Associate Professor Shane Culpepper is the Director of the Centre for Information Discovery and Data Analytics and a Vice-Chancellor's Principal Research Fellow.
His current research focuses on building search systems to effectively and efficiently search massive data collections, and understanding how to measure the quality of the answers found. More broadly, he is interested in Human-driven Data Science and Analytics, which focuses on devising new approaches to transform heterogeneous data collections into knowledge. This might be accomplished through algorithms, data structures, machine learning, distributed computing, statistical modelling, or some combination of all the above.
