I am a masters student in the Artificial Intelligence Research Unit (AIRU), affiliated with the University of Cape Town. Currently, my research is focused on introducing nonmonotonic reasoning to formal concept analysis (if you are interested, you can email me or read the papers linked below). I'm being supervised by Tommie Meyer (UCT) and Sergei Obiedkov (TU Dresden). I should submit this work before October, and so I'm tentatively on the lookout for PhD opportunities. I'm mostly keen to do something in inductive logic programming, but of course there is lots that is interesting to me.
