Sabbir M. Rashid is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the RPI Tetherless World Constellation. Dr. Rashid received his Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2023, working with Professor Deborah McGuinness on research related to data annotation and harmonization, ontology engineering, knowledge representation, and various forms of reasoning. His dissertation research involved the application of deductive and abductive inference techniques over linked health data, such as in the context of chronic diseases like diabetes. Before attending RPI, Sabbir completed a double major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he received B.S. degrees in both Physics and Electrical & Computer Engineering. Much of his graduate studies at RPI involved research related to the semantic annotation and transformation of data using Semantic Data Dictionaries.
