Research History

Currently a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIS), working on the nationally funded Agreement Technologies and CBITprojects, as well as the CHIST-ERA ACE project. Previously worked on the EU funded LiquidPub project.

Was previously envolved in the EPSRC funded Advanced Knowledge Technologies (AKT) project and the EU funded OpenKnowledge project.

Obtained a PhD degree in 2008 from the School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Dave Robertson.
