Andrei Lobov
About
I am working on developing a framework for efficient building of knowledge-based products and knowledge-driven systems, where the knowledge is represented in machine-processable format thus allowing automated reasoning. I am searching for and developing an “ideal” language for knowledge representation along with engineering tools to manage products and smart systems design via their lifecycles with the help of the tools and techniques originated from the field of Artificial Intelligence. My research interests include efficient integration of multi-disciplinary engineering knowledge, its proactive use and support by digital tools.
