Research
My main research interests are in the areas of Knowledge Representation, Description Logics, and their application to the problem of Information Integration.
I have been working in the development of query rewriting algorithms for conjunctive queries over tractable Description Logics. I plan submit my DPhil dissertation entitled Tractable Query Answering for Description Logics via Query Rewriting in December this year.
Prior Work
Prior to have been transferred to Oxford in October 2007, I was a doctoral student at the University of Manchester in January 2005, under the supervision of professors Ian Horrocks and Ulrike Sattler.
Before starting my PhD, I spent few months in the summers of 2004 and 2005 at the ENSIMAG in France working on ontology-based data access under the supervision of Dr. Genoveva Vargas-Solar and professor Christine Collet.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Engineering with Summa Cum Laude from the Universidad de las Américas, Puebla in Mexico in December 2004.
