I'm working on the "traduccion automatica" entry of the Wikipedia, together with my students.

Currently, I’m adjunct professor of Artificial Intelligence and a researcher of the Software Department (LSI), at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) (Barcelona, Spain), and director of research at TMT Factory(Barcelona, Spain). My main research interests combine: ontologies; software agents; Web services; the semantic Web; interactive television; personable, attentive personal-assistants; and application of artificial intelligence in environmental sciences. I'm lead of UPC participation in the Spanish "Red Temática Nacional de Tecnología de Agentes y Sistemas Multi-Agente 2006-2008". In 2003-2006, I served as lead of technical activities in the @LIS TechNET project, to develop an advanced technology demonstration network for education and cultural applications in Europe and Latin America (ALA2002/049-055/2209), with a total budget of 2.5M €; and I was the coordinator of the IntegraTV-4all project, to develop interactive television for blind people in Spain (FIT-350301-2004-2), with a total budget of 1.2M €. In 2001-2003 I have worked as a member of research staff at the Network Agent Research (NAR) group at Fujitsu Laboratories of America. As a member of NAR, I shared the vision to enable software, individuals and organizations to confidently collaborate on shared tasks and transactions in the context of the public Internet. At NAR, my research work, within the Agentcities project, included the creation and management of semantic communication, through shared ontologies, for software agents. As a member of the Knowledge Engineering and Machine Learning group (KEMLg), I completed my PhD in Artificial Intelligence (first class honors), with a thesis entitled "OntoWEDSS - An Ontology-based Environmental Decision-Support System for the management of Wastewater treatment plants", at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in December 2001. Previously, I obtained an MSc degree in Information-Technology Languages and Systems from UPC in 2000 and a BSc degree in Environmental Sciences (first class honors) from the University of Bologna (Ravenna, Italy) in 1995.
