Information Integration: I am interested in accessing data in multiple heterogeneous data repositories using various semantic techniques, such as semantic networks, and context awareness. This is a problem concerning the conception, implementation, and verification of several approaches that integrate systems and information by taking advantage of semantic and contextual relationships that are formed among related data stored in different repositories.

Mobile applications for handheld devices:  Mostly interested in the aspects related to  access and management of data stored either localy in the device or remotely in external databases or data warehouses.

There is a synergistic symbiosis between my two research areas; following a successful information integration technique, the next step is the presentation of the results by opening a window to the data. Users can not only view results of their immediate query, but also navigate through the plethora of data in search of interesting information patterns.
