Dr Michael Waibel appointed as Turing Fellow

The Alan Turing Institute is the national institute for data science and brings together researchers from across the range of data science disciplines as well as seeking to encourage engagement between academia and the private, public and third sectors. The Institute is headquartered at the British Library in London.

Dr Michael Waibel was selected as a Turing Fellow, commencing on 1 October 2018 for one year. The aim of the fellowship is to immerse fellows in the Institute's rich intellectual environment in order to develop their research ideas and identify suitable project collaborators. As part of his fellowship, Dr Waibel will be refining a methodology to analyse a large corpus of treaties.

Commenting on his fellowship, Dr Waibel said:

"The Turing Fellowship at the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence offers a wonderful opportunity to learn from and collaborate with researchers working with big data in other domains, including in the digital humanities and natural sciences."
