Victoria is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario, the Principal Investigator of the LIT.RL, and a graduate of the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, NY where she also worked as a research analyst at the Center for Natural Language Processing.

Her current research interests lie in information organization and information technology. She specializes in information retrieval (IR) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques that enable her to analyze textual information for the purpose of identifying, extracting, and organizing structured knowledge.

Her research is in four specific areas:

1) investigating subtle but discernable text properties;

2) examining evidence of inter-personal trust in blog trust incident accounts, and how it translates to information credibility assessments;

3) using textual access mechanisms to retrieve images; and

4) harmonizing knowledge structures in classification scheme translations and cross-cultural expansions.
