Background

I am currently Post-Doc with Dan Suciu in the Database Research Group of University of Washington working on incomplete and scientific data management. Before that, I did my PhD on automated information extraction with Georg Gottlob in the Database and Artificial Intelligence Group of Vienna University of Technology. More details are on my old web page.
