News: As of Jan 2012, I joined Two Sigma Investments in NYC. If you are one of my friends and looking for an exciting job in NYC please see here.
I am a MITACS Elevate Postdoctoral Fellow at
the
Department of Computer Science,
University of Toronto.
I am a member of the
Database Research Group under
Prof. Renee Miller.
My current area of research is Data-centric Workflow Management, Business Intelligence (BI), and Business Process Modeling, Monitoring and Management (BPM).
In collaboration with
Dr. Rick Hull at IBM TJ Watson Research Center,
I am developing an artifact-centric abstraction layer to better monitor and query business processes behaviors.
As part of my Mitacs Elevate Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowship, I have also completed several professional development training programs including project management, communications, networking, and business etiquette.
I finished my Ph.D. in September 2010 at the
Department of Computer Science,
University of Toronto under Prof.
Hector Levesque
and Prof. Yves Lespérance
working on a logical formalization of coordination and joint ability in multi-agent systems.
I have been a member of the Knowledge Representation and
Cognitive
Robotics groups since 2000 and did my Master's degree with the
late Prof. Raymond Reiter in 2002 on efficient reasoning in the stochastic
situation calculus.
Over the past 10 years, I have been working on a wide range of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Science topics including knowledge representation and reasoning, multiagent systems, game theory, reasoning about action and change, planning and decision making, constraint satisfaction problems, machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, commonsense reasoning, cognitive robotics, semantic inference on large knowledge bases (SILK), declarative workflow management, and service oriented technologies for business process modeling and monitoring.
In addition to being an avid course instructor teaching a variety of computer science courses during my PhD studies, I collaborated as research consultant with SRI International. I was fortunate to be part of a team of renowned R&D leaders and professors in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning who worked on Halo Advanced Research (HalAR) program defining the technical and strategic direction of multi-staged Halo project.
