Scholar-generated biography
Andreas Pieris is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh and University of Cyprus, focusing on Database Theory, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, and Logic in Computer Science. His work explores the intersection of these fields, particularly in the context of ontology languages, query answering, and logical knowledge representation. Pieris has contributed to the development of expressive languages for querying the semantic web, such as Datalog+/-, and has investigated the challenges of query rewriting, optimization, and consistent query answering under ontological constraints. His research also addresses the computational complexity and practical implementation of reasoning systems for knowledge graphs and ontological databases.
