    Biography

    I work at Birkbeck from 2017 as a Lecturer in Computer Science.

    Before that, I worked as an Assistant Professor (fixed term) at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, in the KRDB Research Centre for Knowledge and Data.

    I completed my PhD studies at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in 2010 in in the area of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning with a thesis “DL-Lite for Static and Dynamic Conceptual Modeling”.

    I completed my MSc and BSc studies in Ufa, Russia.

    Research overview

    In my current research, I apply well-known temporal and spatial logic formalisms to problems in the area of data management and analytics. I also extensively work on combining these formalisms with languages for representation of conceputual knowledge, such as description logics and Datalog, and with knowledge graph languages.

  • Supervision and teaching

    Supervision and teaching

    Supervision

    I supervise between 5 and 10 MSc projects and between 1 and 5 BSc projects each year.

    Teaching

    I teach initial programming modules on postgrad conversion programmes related to computing. Usually my modules have large student numbers, and the students have very various backgrounds. My goal is to give all of them a solid foundation in programming to enable further studies on their programmes.

    My modules usually feature online or hybrid (online+in-person) learning activities.

    Apart from on-campus programmes, I teach
