I am a PhD student for Computer Science at Algorithmics Group and the STAR AI Lab at TU Delft with Sebastijan Dumancic and Neil Yorke-Smith, researching in the field of program synthesis, neuro-symbolic proving and reasoning, ontologies and fuzzy logics, and their application to bioinformatics.
Specifically, I try to combine these fields learning neuro-symbolic representations, thus making logical reasoning accessible to neural networks and ‘intuition’ accessible to reasoners.
One of my main projects is Herb.jl a program synthesis library written in Julia.
Previously, I was a Guest Researcher in the Bio-Ontology Research Group (BORG) at KAUST with Robert Hoehndorf and the Neural Data Science and Statistical Computing lab (NeurDS) with Nico Scherf at the MPI for CBS.
