Summary
I started my career in software development, moving from junior framework programming to a research and development manager. My experiences during this journey motivated me to investigate how computers can foster creativity in problem-solving. Throughout my PhD, I participated in various research projects that combined knowledge from diverse fields, such as networking, security, and artificial intelligence. This led me to select my PhD topic: “AN ONTOLOGY-BASED KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION FRAMEWORK FOR CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING IN COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEMS.” After completing my thesis, I applied my proposed framework to support other PhD projects, resulting in successful publications in esteemed journals. My ambition is to work in top research centers.
