Research Experience

MSc Dissertation: "Abstracting and Generalizing a Large Anatomy Ontology". The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is an ontology model with sheer size, consisting of approximately 65,000 concepts and describes the human anatomy in high detail. The purpose of the dissertation was the development of an abstraction methodology for the elimination of the repetitive information in order to decrease the number of concepts of the ontology and make it more efficient.

BEng dissertation: “Collaborative processes analysis with the use of Machine Learning Techniques”. The subject was the analysis of the network-mediated synchronous collaborative activities that are created during the use of computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) tools. Using machine learning methods, a model was trained to be able to classify rich set of examples of collaborative situations that have been evaluated manually in terms of a rating scheme for assessing the collaboration quality.
