Dr Yi Hong

I am the Programme Director of BSc Computer Science and Software Engineering at the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, University of Leicester.  I graduated from Xiamen University and received my PhD from the University of Leicester.  

My research areas include 
* Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Semantic web, Ontology Modelling, Semantic Search
* Digital Humanities (Cultural Heritage/Healthcare/Social Science)
* Collaborative Working Environment
* Internet of Things (IoT), Embedded Systems
* Machine Learning
