Biography
I studied Mathematics in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Madrid, Spain), and finished my degree with a specialism in Theoretical Computing. On 2010 I came to the UK to complete an MSc on Computing (Theory) at Imperial College London, where I won the Corporate Partnership programme Awards for Academic Excellence. I did my MSc project under the supervision of Dr James Brotherston and Prof. Philippa Gardner. The main topic of said project was reasoning in a Separation Logic style about a finite memory model.
I am currently a doctoral student under the supervision of Prof. Ian Horrocks and Dr. Bernardo Cuenca Grau, and a member of the KRR group. My work focuses on developing MORe, a reasoner that exploits module extraction techniques to efficiently compute classification of ontologies written in expressive description logics.

Boris Motik awarded EPSRC Early Career Fellowship
Boris Motik was recently successful in gaining an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship. The 5 year project, MaSI3: A Massively Scalable Intelligent Information Infrastructure, focuses on Ontology-based Data Management Systems (ODMSs). These are a new kind of data management system specifically designed to deal with complex data, by using natural language queries often across multiple relevant sources [more information].
