I joined KMi as a PhD student in October 2005. After my graduation in 2010, I continue working in KMi as a research associate. The main focus of my research is knowledge fusion for Semantic Web data: integrating pieces of information extracted from different sources and resolving ambiguities and inconsistencies between them.

Keys: knowledge fusion, linked data, ontology matching, coreference resolution, KnoFuss
