Professor in Computational Logic in the Department of Computing, Imperial
College London, UK, and the founder and leader of the CLArg (Computational
Logic and Argumentation) research group. Her research interests lie
within the broad area of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning in
Artificial Intelligence, and in particular include Argumentation,
Logic-Based Multi-Agent Systems, Logic Programming for Knowledge
Representation and Reasoning, Non-monotonic and Default Reasoning. She
graduated, summa cum laude, in Computing at the University of Pisa, Italy,
in 1990, and received her PhD in Computing in 1995, from Imperial College
London. She has published over 200 papers, coordinated two EU projects,
received funding from EPSRC and the EU, and awarded a Senior Research
Fellowship from The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Leverhulme Trust.
She is currently Technical Director of the ROAD2H EPSRC-funded project
(www.road2h.org/). She has co-chaired ICLP2015 (the 31st International
Conference on Logic Programming) and KR 2018 (the 16th Conference on
Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning). She is a member of
the steering committee of AT (Agreement Technologies), corner editor on
Argumentation for the Journal of Logic and Computation, and in the
editorial board of the Argument and Computation journal and the AI
journal.
