General Information
Biography
Dr. Jorge Fandinno is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha since 2020. Previously, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the University of Potsdam (Germany) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Toulouse Institute of Computer Science Research (France). His main research interests are in Artificial Intelligence, in particular Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, on both theoretical and practical aspects. He received his PhD in 2015 from the University of Corunna (Spain) and is an author of more than 60 publications in international journals and refereed conference proceedings, including top journals (Artificial Intelligence, Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, and Theory and Practice of Logic Programming) and conferences (AAAI, IJCAI, ECAI, KR, ICLP, LPNMR, JELIA) in AI. Three of these papers won the best technical paper award at the 13th, 14th and 15th International Conference of Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2015, 2017 and 2019). Supervised students won the best student paper award on the 16th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (JELIA) and the 36th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP). He is the recipient of a NSF CAREER award in 2024.
