― Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

Bernardo Cuenca Grau
Royal Society Fellow
Interests
My research interests are in logics for Knowledge Representation. I am especially interested in ontology-based technologies and their applications to the Semantic Web. I have been recently involved in the design of the ontology language OWL 2 and have participated in the development of techniques, algorithms and tools for ontology processing, design, and maintenance.
Biography
I was born in Valencia (Spain) in 1978. In 2001 I joined the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the Universidad de Valencia. In 2002, I obtained an F.P.U doctoral fellowship (Beca para la Formacion del Profesorado Universitario) from the Spanish government, which funded my research. My doctoral fellowship also allowed me to visit the University of Maryland at College Park, where I completed my doctoral work on Knowledge Representation and Semantic Web technologies. In 2005 I defended my dissertation and soon after I joined the Information Management Group at the University of Manchester as a postdoctoral Research Fellow. After two years in Manchester, I joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford as a Research Officer. I have recently been awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship which will fund my research at Oxford for the next 5 years.
