EXPERIENCE
2006- IBM TJ Watson Research Center Hawthorne, NY
Research Staff Member, Intelligent Application Analysis Group
2001-2006 University of Maryland College Park, MD
Research Assistant, Dept. of Computer Science (Sep 01-Present). Working in the
MINDSWAP Semantic Web Research Group supervised by Dr. James
Hendler.
Research Assistant, Dept. of Electrical Engineering (Sep 01 - Dec 01) . Worked
with Dr. Gang Qu on SAT Solvers
Summer 2003 Hewlett Packard Labs Bristol, UK
Worked with Dr. Steve Battle on exploring ontology use for software
development. Designed techniques for migration of an OWL ontology
to a Java API. An IBM development team has since built an API based
on the work (http://jastor.sourceforge.net).
Winter 2002 Fujitsu Labs of America College Park, MD
Worked on the STEER project under the supervision of Dr. Ryu
Masuoka. Developed an ontology mapping tool to aid heterogeneous
web-service composition.
S OFTWARE PROJECTS
SWOOP
Hypermedia-inspired OWL Ontology Engineering framework. Plug-in
based architecture supports (multiple) ontology browsing, editing,
reasoning, search/query, annotation and version control.
Uses Pellet, an OWL DL reasoner. Tableaux tracing feature developed
in Pellet supports debugging of OWL ontologies.
OWL API
Part-time developer of the WonderWeb OWL API, which provides
programmatic access to data structures representing OWL ontologies.
SMORE
Ontology-based markup tool aimed at average web-users that supports
annotation of web documents (incl. text/photos). Features include
ontology term search, auto-inferencing triples & constraint checking.
ONTOLINK
A knowledge integration tool that can be used to specify semantic and
syntactic mappings/transformations between concepts defined in
different ontologies/schemas.
