I am an applied computer scientist and software developer scouting for, and developing new theoretical insights, devising implementation methods for them and making them work for real world applications, such as Bioinformatics and Clinical Informatics. Currently I am developing new database systems at Amazon Web Services. My recent research work aims at providing life scientists and clinicians with scalable self-service access to data, typically distributed and heterogeneous, by developing new methods and tools for reasoning-enabled semantic data management. My specific research interests include data federation with automatically discoverable Web services, user interfaces for self-service ad hoc querying, applications of semantic data management in Bioinformatics and Clinical Informatics, and semantic query execution techniques. In the past I have also done a lot of research on efficient algorithms and data structures for automated reasoning.I combine extensive academic research experience with industrial research, R&D and research commercialisation experience. As the CTO of IPSNP Computing Inc, I lead the technical development of a commercial reasoning-based data federation technology for Bioinformatics and Clinical Intelligence.Specialties: Semantic Web Services, Automated Reasoning, Self-Service Query Interfaces, Query Rewriting, Semantic Querying, Defeasible Reasoning, Term Indexing.
