d D@T ginev A?T jacobs DASH university D0T ДЕ (Д is a cyrillic D in case you're wondering)
I am currently a consultant for NIST's [DLMF](https://dlmf.nist.gov/) project, and a co-developer of [LaTeXML](https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML/) alongside Dr. Bruce Miller. My main focus is to enhance the representation of mathematical expressions in DLMF, improving their accessibility, computational semantics, and enabling further reuse in a broader class of applications.
### Description
I completed my [BSc](https://svn.eecs.jacobs-university.de/svn/eecs/archive/bsc-2009/dginev.pdf) in 2009, my [MSc](http://old.kwarc.info/people/dginev/publications/DeyanGinev_MScThesis.pdf) in 2011 and am currently pursuing a [PhD degree](https://svn.kwarc.info/repos/dginev/public/DeyanGinev_PhD_proposal.pdf).

My initial work was focused at the arXMLiv effort for converting the Cornell e-Print
archive from TeX to HTML. It has since expanded to the
[sTeX](https://github.com/KWARC/sTeX)(a semantically enriched authoring toolkit for
LaTeX) and [LLaMaPUn](https://github.com/KWARC/LLaMaPUn) projects (NLP and Data Mining on
STEM scientific publications).

### Abridged Bio
I am a co-developer of [LaTeXML](https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML), an ambitious TeX to XML converter. LaTeXML aims at being a full reimplementation of the TeX engine, supports the LaTeX/XeTeX/LuaTeX macro languages and exports to XML, (X)HTML5, and ePub. I maintain a semi-official [LaTeXML showcase](http://latexml.mathweb.org/editor), where you can see a variety of example conversions.
Bulgarian 🇧🇬
I am also the current developer and maintainer of [NNexus](https://github.com/dginev/nnexus), the auto-linker for mathematical concepts of the PlanetMath.org encyclopedia (and have been elected to serve as one of PlanetMath's executive board members).
I was a student at KWARC between 2007-2011, under Prof. Dr. Michael Kohlhase. I completed my MSc in 2011, at Jacobs University Bremen. Since then I have been enrolled as a PhD student, now at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.
All of my research work is released as Free Libre Open Source Software, so feel invited to [follow me on GitHub](https://github.com/dginev), and to use my [CPAN distributions](https://metacpan.org/author/DGINEV).
In 2012, I first visited the United States as a guest researcher at NIST's Gaithersburg campus. I had a chance to do three of those visits until 2014.
I spent 2014-2017 as the first hire of [Authorea](https://www.authorea.com/) in New York. The three years as a "full stack developer" at a startup were a triple espresso of realism. Authorea has since been acquired by the Wiley publishing company. I learned a great deal!
My supervisor is Prof. [Michael Kohlhase](http://kwarc.info/kohlhase), head of the [KWARC](http://kwarc.info/) research group (Knowledge Adaptation and Reasoning for Content).
In 2018, I returned to my work with LaTeXML, which is what I continue to date. We have made great strides in some regards, notably the recent announcement of [the ar5iv project](https://twitter.com/dginev/status/1488157927001268231) and its subsequent adoption as an [arXiv Lab](https://blog.arxiv.org/2022/02/21/arxiv-articles-as-responsive-web-pages/) at Cornell. I am happy to now also be a registered volunteer contributor with Cornell University, as the "virtual head" of the ar5iv Lab.
### Research Focus
My primary interest lies in Mathematical Knowledge Management and Computational Semantics of Natural Language, with a focus on Underspecification and Ambiguity in the Math domain.
In 2021, I joined the [W3C Math](https://www.w3.org/Math/) working group, as a NIST-endorsed independent expert.
I am also involved in and excited by the problems of Scalable Software Architectures, Data Mining, Processing in the Large and the Semantic Web.
My PhD journey is now spanning multiple continents and over a decade. In 2022, I am in the final write-up phase for completing the degree with Michael. The numbers speak clearly - this is happening as a background task, with all associated risks and benefits.
My current work is targeting large-scale Semantic Enrichment of informal mathematical documents, based on the [arXiv](https://arxiv.org) corpus. For a more detailed view, feel free to read my [PhD Proposal](https://svn.kwarc.info/repos/dginev/public/DeyanGinev_PhD_proposal.pdf).
In 2022, I reside in New York City, next to the campus of Rockefeller University. I can see the arXiv office at Cornell Tech from my window, which was a completely unplanned - yet delightful! - accident of life.
