What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a research position in artificial intelligence and knowledge engineering, working on logic-based reasoning, ontology modeling, and formal semantics in a mathematically grounded environment where I can apply Sobolev spaces and PDE expertise.

I’m a PhD Applied Informatics researcher at Comenius University in Bratislava, focused on advancing logic-based reasoning through knowledge engineering and formal semantics. My work centers on ontology modeling and meta-modeling, with a strong emphasis on description logics.

I aim to contribute both theoretically and practically—building representations that support rigorous reasoning and validation. I bring additional mathematical depth from my background in Sobolev spaces and functional analysis, and I’m motivated by their connection to dynamical systems and partial differential equations.

As a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant at Comenius University (2023–till date), I combine research output with academic mentorship. I’ve also published work on leveraging meta-modeling for ontology structuring and validation, and on decidability questions in metamodelled description logics.

I’ve strengthened my research direction through competitive funding and international collaboration, including an AFDB scholarship (2018–2019) and a Tailor Connectivity Fund mobility grant (Jan–Mar 2024). I’m now looking for a research role where my logic-and-math perspective can drive high-impact AI research.
