I started in June 2008 as a research assistant at the Knowledge-Based Systems Group at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria, funded by the Austrian Science Fund project Modular HEX-Programs. Before that I was a research intern at DERI Galway in the EU FP6 project inContext. I obtained a master's degree in Computational Intelligence in 2007 at TU Wien. For my master thesis, I have been awarded the OCG Förderpreis 2009 (OCG advancement award 2009) of the Austrian Computer Society (see also the press article in German).
I am doing my PhD under supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas Eiter and Dr. Michael Fink.
My research interests include Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, especially Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning. Currently, I am working on developing extensions and algorithms for modular and distributed evaluation of HEX-programs, modular nonmonotonic logic programs, and heterogeneous nonmonotonic multi-context systems.

A list of my publications can be found on my publication page, at DBLP (Faceted DBLP), or at Google Scholar.
Prototype solver for HEX-programs which integrate Answer-Set Programs with higher-order reasoning and external computation sources. It comes with a full-fledged plug-in framework for rapid extension development. See also the ASP tutorial.
A SPARQL engine with deductive database support.
Prototype implementation of XSPARQL, a combination of XQuery and SPARQL.
