معرفی
Bernardo Cuenca Grau is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow at Keble College. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, particularly knowledge representation and reasoning, knowledge graphs, computational logic, and semantic technologies. He leads the Information Systems Group and has contributed to high-impact software tools like LogMap, MORe, and PAGOdA. His work bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, including industry collaborations through his co-founded startup Oxford Semantic Technologies, acquired by Samsung in 2024. He has received prestigious awards such as the Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2009-2017) and the 2025 Vice-Chancellor Award for Innovation.
- Affiliations: University of Oxford Department of Computer Science, Keble College
- Professional Roles: Tutorial Fellow, Co-founder of Oxford Semantic Technologies
Research interests span declarative data analysis, graph neural networks, temporal reasoning, and ontology-based systems. His recent work explores connections between graph neural networks and logic programming (e.g., Datalog). He advises PhD students on topics like knowledge graph completion and explainable AI models.
Key publications include foundational work on limit Datalog, ontology-based data access, and neural network stability. His work on LogMap (ontology matching) earned the Semantic Web Science 10-Year Award (2021). He actively participates in conferences like IJCAI and AAAI, serving as General Chair for the 2020 Description Logics workshop.
- Awards: Vice-Chancellor Award (2025), Distinguished Paper Award (IJCAI 2017), Royal Society Fellowship (2009-2017)
- Grants/Funding: Royal Society Fellowship, VC Innovation Award, MPLS Commercial Impact Award
Cuenca Grau co-develops tools like SemFacet (faceted search system) and MeTeoR (temporal Datalog reasoner). His research group emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, addressing challenges in scalable reasoning, privacy in knowledge graphs, and industrial ontology management.
