Developed question answering applications in the Unstructured Information Management Department. Developed the UIMA to Prolog translator and NLP annotators for question analysis in the Watson project (a computing system that can understand and answer complex questions playing in the Jeopardy! TV show) first as a research intern, then as a part time developer through an extended contract with of Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York.

Developed dialog management applications and standards.

Developed voice applications with Web services and intelligent semantic dialog manager standards.

Teaching Programming Languages, Digital Circuits, Parallel Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence Labs.

Designed the theoretical basis and implemented the high level structures for arrays, records and sets for the RelationalConstraint Solver (RCS) embedded in Protege-2000 project (an ontology and a knowledge-based editor that provides anextensible architecture for the creation of customized knowledge-based applications) using Java and SOAP technology.Implemented and tested Airbus electronic diagnosis systems by modeling in constraint programming the Ohm’s and Kirchoff’s laws, as well as academic problems like solving linear equations in RCS.Ported the electronic scheme for the air conditioning system for Airbus from Smalltalk to RCS, and constructed the modelsin RCS for circuit diagnosis and failure analysis.
