Biography
I studied applied computer science at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. Under the supervision of Prof. Werner Nutt and Dr Maria Keet, I graduated with first class honours (110 cum laude) in 2009. In my thesis project, I designed and implemented a prototypical web interface for visually querying ontology-enriched biological databases through ontologies over a Web interface. After my Bachelor, I attended the European Master in Computational Logic. In the first year of the program, I studied at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and, under the supervision of Prof. Diego Calvanese, I started a project on explaining query answers in the Description Logic DL-Lite. In the second year of the program, I continued working on this project in Vienna at the Technische Universitaet Wien under the joint-supervision of Dr. Magdalena Ortiz, Dr. Mantas Simkus, and Prof. Thomas Eiter. In August 2011, I graduated with first class honours.
Currently, I am a doctoral student at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. I am a member of the Knowledge Representation Group and, under the joint-supervision of Dr. Boris Motik and Prof. Ian Horrocks, I am working on query answering in the EL profile of OWL2.
