Pascal Hitzler joined the Kno.e.sis Center at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, in September 2009. From 2004 to 2009 he was with Akademischer Rat at the Institute for Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods (AIFB) at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, and from 2001 to 2004 postdoctoral researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Institute at Dresden University of Technology. His research record lists over 120 publications in such diverse areas as semantic web, neural-symbolic integration, knowledge representation and reasoning, lattice and domain theory, denotational semantics, and set-theoretic topology. He is the Editor-in-chief of the IOS Press book series Studies on the Semantic Web. He is on the editorial board of the Journal on Advances in Artificial Intelligence, the Journal of Algorithms in Cognition, Informatics and Logic, and the Journal of Artificial General Intelligence. He is in the steering committees of the International Conference on Conceptual Structures, of the conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (as vice-chair), and of the workshop series OWL - Experiences and Directions. He also serves as a member of the W3C OWL working group and is co-editor of the OWL 2 Primer W3C document.
