I am a PhD student in the Doctoral College Logical Methods in Computer Science, TU Wien and also a project assistant in the Database and Artificial Intelligence group (DBAI). My advisor is Prof. Reinhard Pichler and co-advisor is Dr.techn. Mantas Simkus. My main research interests are in Databases (query languages, rule languages, combining rules and ontologies), Description Logics, and Semantic Web.
