I'm interested in logics for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, with focus on Description Logics.

I'm a member of the Knowledge Based Systems Group since September 2006.

I obtained my PhD from the Vienna University of Technology in May 2010. The topic of my dissertation was techniques and complexity results for query answering in expressive description logics. You can find my dissertation here.

I was on maternity leave for most of 2011.
Since January 2012 I am the principal investigator in the Project Recursive Queries over Semantically Enriched Data Repositories (Hertha-Firnberg-Programm T515) funded by FWF.
I support the coordination of the European Masters in Computational Logic at TU-Vienna.

More details can be found in my CV (pdf).

Publications

Most of them can be found on the DBLP server, and older ones in my (rather outdated) publications page.

I support the coordination of the European Masters in Computational Logic at TU-Vienna.

About Me

Before my PhD, I obtained a European Masters in Computational Logic in 2006, after studying at the Free University of Bolzano and in the Vienna University of Technology.

I was born in Puebla, Mexico. I studied Computer Science at the Universidad de las Americas, Puebla where I obtained a B.Sc. degree in 2003 and a M.Sc. in 2004.

Some awards and scholarships I have received in the last years:

For my Master Thesis, I received the OeCG Foerderpreis 2007 awarded by the Austrian Computer Society (there is a press release in German with a photo here and here), the OeGAI Preis 2006 from the Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence, and the the Best Thesis Award of the European Masters in Computational Logic.
The Google Europe Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship 2007, given to female students in CS and related fields on the basis of their academic performance and community commitment. There is a small press release (in German) with a picture here.
A doctoral grant from CONACYT, the Mexican Science and Technology Council.
Erasmus Mundus grant given by the European Commission.
