About
I am an Assistant Professor of Information Science at the University of Kentucky. I received my PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) and was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My research focuses on artificial intelligence and computational argumentation, with applications in law and other complex information environments, such as digital libraries and media.
