I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Georgia (UGA), and a member of LSDIS (Large Scale Distributed Information Systems) Lab. I received my BSc, Msc, and PhD degrees from Computer Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University in 1991, 1993, and 1998 respectively (advisors: Prof. Dogac and Prof. Halici).

Research Activities

I have research experience in semantic web , web services , peer-to-peer systems, and management of heterogeneous data and information integration. My current research focuses on developing new semantic-based techniques for providing better information integration and search experiences for the web users . This research direction is critical for building the next generation of web, called semantic web. From December 1998 through August 2001, I worked on adaptable workflow technology during my post-doctoral studies at LSDIS Lab, which is one of the leading information systems research labs worldwide.

I am currently working on semantic relations and search and semantic composition of Web services. My research on Web services and semantic Web are supported by UGA Research Foundation and National Science Foundation respectively. I have authored or co-authored over 50 publications, and the R&D I was involved has resulted in different commercial products (e.g. METEOR) or research prototypes. I am also a PC Member and organizer of various significant conferences and workshops including International Data Engineering Conference (ICDE'06) and International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC'06).
