Interests

My research interests are in knowledge representation, ontologies and ontology languages, description logics, automated reasoning and applications in areas such as bio-medical information systems and Semantic Web.

Biography

Bernardo grew up in Valencia (Spain) and attended the University of Valencia. He currently holds a prestigious University Research Fellowship awarded by the British Royal Society. He holds a lectureship at the department and also holds a non-stipendiary lectureship at Oriel College, University of Oxford. He is a member of the Information Systems group led by Prof. Georg Gottlob and Prof. Ian Horrocks. .

Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral Research Officer at the University of Oxford and a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester. His predoctoral research was fully funded by a prestigious fellowship awarded by the Spanish government (Beca de Ministerio para la Formacion del Profesorado Universitario), which allowed him to split his PhD research between Spain and the United States, and he was a visiting scholar at the University of Maryland at College Park.

His predoctoral and postdoctoral research have covered many different aspects of ontology-based technologies, including (but not limited to) modularity, reuse, formalisms and languages, reasoning, information hiding and privacy, debugging and repair, management and versioning, as well as mapping and integration.

He has been a recipient of several awards, including a Royal Society Fellowship, and an outstanding paper award from the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). He was a Program Committee Chair of the 2009 Description Logics Workshop and is on the editorial board of the Semantic Web Journal, published by IOS Press.

He is currently the Principal Investigator of the EPSRC-funded LogMap project and has participated in the past in several other EU and EPSRC-funded projects, many of which involved interaction and collaboration with users and industrial partners.

He was one of the initiators of the OWL 2 proposal and has co-edited several of the OWL 2 recommendation documents. He was an organiser of the first two editions of the highly successful workshop OWL:Experiences and Directions (OWLEd), which was crucial for gathering support from the community to start a working group within the W3C.
