Welcome

I am an Assistant Professor at Wright State University in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering where I direct the Knowledge and Semantic Technologies (KASTLE) Lab.

Previously, I was a member the Data Semantics Laboratory and completed my M.S. and Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Pascal Hitzler. In addition, I participated in the Enslaved: Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade and KnowWhereGraph projects as a postdoctoral researcher.

My research spans the entire spectrum of the ontology development pipeline, essentially examining first the pre-conditions for constructing well-founded ontologies all the way through their use in downstream tasks, such as embeddings or machine learning.

Research Interests

• Knowledge Graphs
• Ontology Modeling, Engineering \& Methodologies
• Ontology Design Patterns
• Neurosymbolic AI
