Domain
Research
Dissertation-level and supporting research in multi-agent systems, semantic interoperability, and intelligent agent architecture. Grounded in OWL ontologies, formal protocol design, and empirical evaluation against established benchmarks.
Research themes
Semantic Negotiation
Protocol-governed multi-turn argumentation for resolving ontology mismatches between agents.
Ontology Alignment
Structured comparison of classical matchers vs LLM-assisted approaches on OAEI benchmarks.
Agent Architecture
Formal module boundaries, observable state transitions, and reusable coordination contracts.
Trust & Evaluation
Dialogue-aware heuristics for scoring agreement quality beyond surface-level acceptance.
Supporting research
Architecture Research
Modular Agent Framework
A research-grade Python framework for composable single-agent and multi-agent systems with explicit runtime, memory, tool, and coordination boundaries.
Core architecture defined, module implementation in progress
Literature & Experimental Study
Ontology Alignment Study
A structured comparative study of ontology alignment techniques — from classical matcher systems (OAEI benchmarks) to LLM-assisted semantic matching.
Survey complete, benchmark evaluation in progress
