Education
editHitzler received a Diplom in Mathematics from the University of Tübingen in Germany in 1998.[4] He has a PhD in Mathematics from the National University of Ireland, University College Cork, 2001.[9][2]
Career
editHitzler received the title of 2018 Brage Golding Distinguished Professor of Research during his tenure at Wright State University,[10] where he was endowed NCR Distinguished Professor.[10][4] From 2004 to 2009 he was first Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (as postdoc) and then Akademischer Rat at the Institute for Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.[4][11] Between 2001 and 2004 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the International Center for Computational Logic at TU Dresden.[4] From 1999 to 2001 he was a PhD student at the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Ireland, University College Cork, and graduated with a dissertation on "Generalized Metrics and Topology in Logic Programming Semantics."[9][2] From 1992 to 1998 he studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Eberhard-Karl University of Tübingen in Germany and graduated with a Diplom thesis on "Topology and Logic Programming Semantics".[12]
Hitzler co-founded several series of academic meetings, including the Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (NeSy, since 2005),[13] the Web Reasoning and Rule Systems Conference (RR, since 2006),[14] the Workshop on Applications of Semantic Technologies (AST, 2007-2011),[15] and the U.S. Semantic Technologies Symposium (us2ts, since 2018).[16] He also contributed to steering the Workshop on Ontology Design & Patterns (WOP, since 2017).[17]
Hitzler has published several books as author and editor,[18] including the textbook "Foundations of Semantic Web Technologies"[19] which was awarded an Outstanding Academic Title award in 2010 by the Choice Magazine.[20]
A scientometric publication in PLOS Biology, in October 2020, listed him among the top 1% of scientists world-wide in Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing.[21]
At the 2020 International Semantic Web Conference, he and his co-authors received the SWSA Ten-Year Award by the Semantic Web Science Association, for the publication Prateek Jain, Pascal Hitzler, Amit P. Sheth, Kunal Verma, Peter Z. Yeh, Ontology Alignment for Linked Open Data.[22]
Hitzler is also one of the authors of the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language Primer,[23] which is a W3C standard.[23]
