Profile
Ashwin received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the
University of New South Wales, Australia, in 1991.
His dissertation examined the use of defeasible logic
for the photo-interpretion of remotely sensed data
and at the comparative advantage of this representation over
methods like Multivariate Gaussian Analysis and Dempster
Shafer Theory. During the latter half of 1990, he developed a non-monotonic
logic-based system for interpreting chemical pathology data. This was awarded
the Pacific Diagnostic's Prize and recommended for use in all hospitals
in the state of New South Wales. In 1991, Ashwin joined the ILP group
at the Turing Institute, Scotland and---with S. Muggleton
(now at Imperial College, London)--- worked on the application of
Algorithmic Information Theory to noise-detection and non-monotonic
learning in ILP. From 1993, Ashwin
was a member of the
Oxford University Computing Laboratory,
where he was involved in pioneering
applications of ILP systems to difficult real-world problems in molecular
biology and chemistry. From 1998-2000 he was the
Nuffield Trust
Research Fellow in Medical Mathematics and
a Research Fellow of Green
College , Oxford. In 2001, he was appointed to a University Lecturership
in Computation at Oxford and a Fellowship in Computation at
St Peter's College.
Prior to this, he has also been a member of
Wolfson College , Oxford.
In 2003, he moved to the IBM India Research Laboratory as a Research
Staff Member. He is the recipient of several awards and fellowships,
and is regularly invited to present work on scientific knowledge discovery.
He is a referee for a number of leading journals,
and an author on several well-known papers
on ILP. Ashwin enjoys travelling, playing squash, tennis and table-tennis.
