Dr. Elaheh (Ela) Homayounvala is a PhD graduate of King’s College London. She has more than nine years of experience in teaching in higher education and doing interdisciplinary research in computer science. She was previously a Lecturer in Computer Science at Goldsmiths, University of London for three years. She is currently a Senior Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at London Met.

She is interested in teaching computer science topics as well as more specialised topics in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Her research is multi-disciplinary and is focused on technology and people to understand how people interact with technology and how to adapt technology to needs and preferences of people, which are usually named “User Modelling and Personalisation”.
