Umayer Reza

PhD Candidate, UMaine

Who am I?

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Spatial Information Science and Engineering at the School of Computing and Information Science, University of Maine (UMaine). In addition to my study, I am working with Dr. Torsten Hahmann as a graduate research assistant at the Spatial Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence (SKAI) Lab. My research focuses on developing an ontology-guided named entity recognition (NER) model for the cellulose materials, which aims to contribute to the growth of a small hand-curated cellulose ontology. Prior to starting school at UMaine, I earned a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and an M.S. in Computer Science from American International University - Bangladesh (AIUB).

May 13, 2024: Paper "OnNER: An Ontology for Semantic Representation of Named Entities in Scholarly Publications" has been accepted in the main track of 14th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems 2024, Enschede, Netherlands.
Feb 9, 2024: Extended abstract on "Populating and Refining an Ontology of Cellulose Materials with Terms from Scientific Publications" has been published in The Joint Ontology Workshops 2023 proceedings.
Jul 18, 2023: Presented the poster "Populating and Refining an Ontology of Cellulose Materials with Terms from Scientific Publications" at the Early Career Symposium of 13th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems 2023, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.
Apr 14, 2023: Presented the poster "The Scientific Publication Ontology (SciPub): Linking publications’ content to the domain ontologies" at UMaine Student Symposium, Orono, Maine, USA.
May 23, 2022: Presented the poster "CelloGraph – Accelerating Knowledge Discovery for Cellulosic Materials using AI and Knowledge Graphs" at Manufacturing RENEW3D Conference, Orono, Maine, USA.
