Research
"develop formalisms for providing high-level descriptions of the world that can be effectively used to build intelligent applications" - The Description Logic Handbook
I am interested in automated reasoning and semantic web. Currently I am working on a project that is aimed at generating automated tableau prover based on specification of logic (supported by research grant EP/H043748/1 of the UK EPSRC). The project is going to extend an existing tableau prover MetTeL. Recently I have extended the system to accept tableau calculi as input. You can give it a try on our online demo version.

Abstract MetTeL is a generic tableau prover for various modal, intuitionistic, hybrid, description and metric logic. The core component of MetTeL is a logic-independent tableau inference engine. A novel feature is that users have the ability to flexibly specify the set of tableau rules to be used in derivations. Termination can be achieved via a generalisation of a standard loop checking mechanism or unrestricted blocking.

How am i doing
I have started in , and should be finished by . This means I have 793 day to go. In the past 474 days, I have already read 57 papers and gathered a list 61 to read. Please let me know if you know anything that can be intresting to me.
