Javier de la Rosa < back to people

I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student originally from Spain. I have completed both, my BA and my MA at the University of Seville.  I decided to study at Western because it gave me an opportunity to combine the fields of humanities and Computer Science.  One of the things that I like most about UWO is the flexibility and the quality.  On the other hand, winters here are very hard. My general research interests are in graphs, graph databases, query languages, complex networks and temporal ontologies and my main research interest is in Network Theory. The best thing about being a CulturePlex member is having the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment.
If you would like to know more about me, you should read my blog.
