Associate Professor, Computer Science
An associate professor with 12+ years across information retrieval, recommender systems, and applied machine learning. Has prepared and reviewed manuscripts for search, ranking, retrieval evaluation, and computer science survey venues. Brings direct experience with reviewer expectations around task definition, relevance judgments, baseline choice, leakage checks, reproducibility artifacts, and venue fit.
Journals reviewed for:
Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval, Computer Science Review, ACM Transactions on Information Systems
Research published in:
Published in information retrieval and applied machine learning venues

A practical IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology submission-process walkthrough: the IEEE Author Portal workflow, Associate-Editor-managed review, the 14-page limit, the multi-round revision reality, and what each status means for a vehicular-technology manuscript.
How to write a point-by-point response to reviewers for Computers & Education, where a major revision means proving a learning or teaching consequence, grounding the work in theory, and clearing the education-not-just-computers scope gate.
The IEEE Transactions on Image Processing cover letter is where you prove the work is an image-processing-science advance, not an application of known methods. Here is the contribution statement editors read for, the EDICS choice, the conference-extension disclosure, and a template you can copy.
The IEEE TMI cover letter is read first, and it has to prove your contribution is imaging methodology, not a clinical application. Here is the executive summary editors expect, the disclosures IEEE policy requires, the one thing TMI tells you NOT to include, and a copyable template.
The IEEE TPAMI cover letter is where the Associate Editor decides whether your paper is a genuine journal contribution or a conference paper with extra pages. Here is what it must say, plus a copyable template.
Point-by-point rebuttal guide for IEEE TPAMI authors. Grounded in pre-submission reviews on TPAMI-targeted computer-vision manuscripts.
A package-readiness guide to Information Sciences (Elsevier): the Editorial Manager portal, the general-informatics scope screen that decides desk rejections, the theory-and-practice balance editors expect, the methodology-rigor bar, and the failure patterns that stall computational-intelligence manuscripts before review.
Paper rejected from IEEE TPAMI? 6 alternative venues ranked by fit, selectivity, review speed, and APC, plus the conference-vs-journal routing call.
If your Sensors manuscript shows Under Review, here is what the editor and reviewers are likely doing and when to follow up.
What submitting to IEEE TPAMI actually requires: the IEEE Computer Society publishing structure, the standard IEEE Transactions journal format, and the editorial culture distinguishing TPAMI from CVPR/ICCV conference papers.
What submitting to Expert Systems with Applications actually requires: the Elsevier publishing structure, the AI-application editorial scope, the high-volume submission environment, and the editorial culture distinguishing ESWA from sister AI / ML venues.
What submitting to Computers & Education actually requires: the Elsevier publishing structure, the educational-technology + AI-in-education editorial scope, and the editorial culture distinguishing the journal from sister educational-technology venues (BJET, ETR&D, Educational Technology & Society).
HCI papers need pre-submission review that checks contribution type, study design, ethics, interaction evidence, and venue fit.
A pre-submission readiness check for Computers & Education: the learning-outcome evidence the desk demands, the education-not-computers scope gate that triggers return-without-review, the learning-theory grounding editors expect, and a clear submit-or-wait verdict.
A pre-submission readiness check for IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems: the transportation-contribution bar the editors apply, the validation and scope gates that trigger fast returns, the conference-extension disclosure rule, and a clear submit-or-wait verdict.
Rejected from IEEE Transactions on Image Processing? 7 alternative venues ranked by fit, selectivity, speed, and cost, plus the IEEE transfer reality.
A package-readiness guide to Applied Soft Computing (Elsevier): the Editorial Manager portal, required highlights and declarations, the long multi-round review timeline, and the failure patterns that stall soft-computing manuscripts before review, starting with the yet-another-metaheuristic trap.
A pre-submission readiness check for IEEE TPAMI covering the novelty bar, the 30 percent conference-extension delta, SOTA benchmarking, isolating ablations, code release, and the page limits that decide whether you submit now or wait.
A package-readiness guide to Knowledge-Based Systems (Elsevier): the Editorial Manager portal, the knowledge-driven scope test that separates KBS from pure-neural-network venues, the CRediT and data-availability rules, the editorial triage timeline, and the failure patterns that stall submissions before review.
Paper rejected from IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging? 7 alternative venues ranked by fit, selectivity, review speed, and APC, with routing logic.
Information retrieval papers need pre-submission review that checks task definition, metrics, baselines, leakage, artifacts, and venue fit.
Machine learning papers need pre-submission review that checks baselines, ablations, reproducibility, ethics, code, data, and venue fit.
Remote sensing papers need pre-submission review that checks sensor logic, validation, leakage, transfer, data, and journal fit.
Robotics papers need pre-submission review that checks hardware, experiments, baselines, videos, safety, reproducibility, and journal fit.
