William Van Woensel

About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in Health Informatics and Information Systems at the University of Ottawa. I also hold an Adjunct Faculty position at the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University. Before that, I was a Research Associate and Post-Doctoral Fellow at the NICHE Research Group at Dalhousie University. I was a teaching assistant for 6 years at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, obtaining the degree of Doctor in Sciences in 2013.

Research Interests

My research interests lie at the crossroads of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR), Information Systems (IS) engineering, and Mobile Computing. In particular, I am interested in applying these technologies to innovate domains such as healthcare, law, government and business.
