I am a postdoctoral researcher at DBAI and project assistant in the project 'A Semantical Framework for Graph-Based Argument Processing' conducted by Stefan Woltran. I obtained my BSc (Bakk.techn.) in Computer Science from Johannes Kepler University Linz and received my MSc (Dipl.-Ing.) and PhD (Dr.techn.) both from TU Wien. Before joining DBAI in October 2017, I was researcher in the Intelligent Systems Group (Prof. Gerhard Brewka) at Leipzig University (2013-2017) and the Knowledge-Based Systems group (Prof. Thomas Eiter) at TU Wien. For more detailed information on my academic background, please consult my CV.

Research Interests

My main research interest lies in logic-based knowledge representation and reasoning, with a special focus on answer-set programming (ASP) and argumentation. Both, my MSc and my PhD theses (supervised by Prof. Hans Tompits) centered on debugging techniques for ASP. In my work I aim for a varied approach in which nice theoretic results are brought to practice and where practice demands for more theory.
