CV: Maria Magdalena Ortiz de la Fuente was born in Puebla (Mexico), where she studied Informatics at the Universidad de las Americas (magna cum laude). She then moved to Europe to participate from 2006 on in the Eureopean Master´s Program in Computational Logic (M.Sc, opens an external URL in a new window.), which was a joint programme of several universites in Portugal, Germany and Austria (TU Wien). After the finalisation of this Program she stayed at TU Wien starting her Doctoral Thesis, which she finished 2010 with the theme "Query Answering in Expressive Description Logics: Techniques and Complexity Results,". In 2015, she was able to secure a tenure track position on the topic of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, which she successfully completed in 2021 with the qualification as Associate Professor and in 2024 as University Professor.  In addition she obtained her Venia Docendi in 2021, thus qualifiying her to teach in the area of Computer Science with a habilitation about "Improving data management using ontologies, opens an external URL in a new window".
