Working with Dr Paul Mulholland, I am interested in using insights from cognitive psychology to understand how people make sense of information. My Ph.D. thesis looked at Description Logics, a class of languages used to create ontologies. Specifically, I investigated a particular Description Logic syntax called Manchester OWL Syntax. Subsequently I looked at how people query and make sense of Linked Data. Recently, I have been investigating how people make sense of art and how this sensemaking can be influenced by music. Currently, I am interested in analysing text to gain an understanding of people's sensemaking processes.

Keys: sensemaking, art-music cross-modality, sentiment analysis, linked data, SPARQL, ontologies, description logics
