Doctoral Student;
Faculty of Information & Media Studies, Western University

John Kausch received an MA Honours in Linguistics from the University of Edinburgh, and an MsC in Information Science from City, University of London. His primary research interest is in the use of information ontologies to aid users in performing knowledge translation tasks. His work incorporates philosophy, linguistics, computer science, mathematics, and library/information science. It also has implications for fields like human computer interaction and emerging fields in artificial intelligence such as neuro-symbolic computation.
