I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science of the University of Manchester. Within the school I am a member of the Information Management Group (IMG), and supervised by Uli Sattler and Bijan Parsia. My research concerns detection and presentation of structural and semantic differences between OWL ontologies, as well as identification of ontology subsets whose interaction with the remainder is performance-degrading for a given description logic reasoner (so called "hot spots").

In 2008 I completed a BSc with Honours (1st class) in Computer Science at the University of Liverpool (2008). During my BSc I was awarded the Ray Paton Memorial Prize, for Best Achievement in the Field of Computational Biology.


In 2009 I completed a MSc in Software Engineering (with Merit), at the University of Manchester. My Masters dissertation was related to collaboration in Semantic Wikis capable of handling OWL ontologies, with automated reasoning and SPARQL-DL querying facilities, and titled "Semantic Wiki for Travel and Holidays using OWL". This project was supervised by Alan Rector and Robert Stevens.
