Dr. Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa belongs to the Ontology Engineering Group of the Artificial Intelligence Department of the Computer Science School (http://www.fi.upm.es) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).
She graduated in Computer Science from UPM in 2001. She got the PhD in Artificial Intelligence in UPM in June 2010.
She was Associate Professor (January-March 2002) and she is Teaching Assistant from 1st September 2008 at the Computer Science School at UPM.
Her research activities are focused on Ontology Engineering and the Semantic Web. Particularly, her research lines include methodologies for ontology network development, ontology network development, ontology development tools, ontology evaluation, and the Semantic Web. She has participated or is currently participating at different European and national projects: OntoWeb (IST-2000-29243), Esperonto (IST-2001-34373), PIKON (IST-2001-33487), Knowledge Web (FP6-507482), OntoGrid (FP6-511513), REIMDOC (FIT-340100-2004-22), SEEMP (IST-4-027347-STP), NeOn (FP6-027595), mIO! (CENIT 2008-1019), and BuscaMedia (CENIT 2009-1026).
She has been research visitor at Department of Computer Science (University of Liverpool) in 2004 and at KMi at the Open University in 2007.
She is currently organizing the "Terminology and Knowledge Engineering Conference (TKE 2012)". She co-organized the EON 2006 Workshop at WWW'06, the KRRSW 2008 Workshop at ESWC 2008, the tutorial called "NeOn Methodology: how to build ontology networks?" at EKAW 2008, and the tutorial called "Ontology Engineering: the NeOn Methodology through the NeOn Toolkit" at ISWC 2009.
She is one of the editors of the book entitled "Ontology Engineering in a Networked World" published by Springer in 2012.
