Research Experience
  • CRCN Researcher at Inria, within the Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée Centre. Member of the Boreal research team, LIRMM, University of Montpellier, and CNRS.
Background
  • Research interests include the study of logical languages (mostly first-order logic, existential rules, and Description Logics) and their theoretical/computational properties. Specific research questions include: If a first-order theory without equality is rewritable or has the bounded-treewidth model property, does it also have the finite model property? If a first-order theory is rewritable and has the finite universal model property, is it also uniformly bounded? What are the expressivity limits of first-order languages that are decidable or semi-decidable? What is the query complexity of solving boolean query entailment over existential rule theories that are rewritable? What is the undecidability status of checking if an existential rule theory is rewritable? If we can decide boolean conjunctive query entailment for a fragment of existential rules, can we also decide chase termination for this fragment?
