Biography
I joined the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Group at the University of Oxford in October 2011. I obtained my PhD from the University of Manchester in December 2011, where my supervisor was Dr Ian Pratt-Hartmann. I did my MSc and BSc studies in the University of Sofia in Bulgaria under the supervision of Prof Dimitar Vakarelov. My research is in the field of Theoretical Computer Science and in particular I am interested in the theoretical and applied aspects of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.
