Ciprian-Octavian Truică

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, University Politehnica of Bucharest.

In 2024, I received my Habilitation in Computer Science.

At the University Politehnica of Bucharest, I am a member of

MobyLab (Distributed Systems Research Laboratory).
Database Systems and Data Mining Group
DS4AI (Distributed Systems for Artificial Intelligence)

In 2024, I helped open RoNLP-CLARIN (RoNLP: CLARIN K-Centre for Romanian Natural Language Processing), the first CLARIN Knowledge Centre in Romania, where I hold the position of Technical Director.

I received my Ph.D. (2018) in Data Management and Text Mining from the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania. I hold an M.Sc. Degree (2013) in Computer Engineering and Information Technology from the University Politehnica of Bucharest, a B.Sc. degree (2013) in Computer Science from the University of Bucharest, and a B.Eng. (2011) degree in Computer Engineering and Information Technology from the University Politehnica of Bucharest.

In 2024, I was an invited researcher at Freie Universität Berlin and Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fraunhofer Fokus), where I worked on harmful content detection and network immunization.

In 2022, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher on the theme of Disinformation Detection at the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University, in collaboration with The Nordic Observatory for Digital Media and Information Disorder (NORDIS), one of the national hubs of the European Digital Media Observatory.

In 2021, I was an invited researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fraunhofer Fokus) where I worked on Network-Aware Fake News Mitigation.

I was a Postdoctoral Researcher (2019-2020) in the Data-Intensive Systems group at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark, where I worked on Big Data Analytics for Time Series.

During my Ph.D. studies, I was an invited researcher (2015-2016) at the ERIC laboratory, Université de Lyon 2, France where I worked on Data Management, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing.

I received 2 ANIS Awards for my teaching activities, the first in 2021 for the "Distributed Databases Systems" master course, and the second in 2024 for the "Data Mining for Financial Computing" master course.

My research topics include Natural Language Processing, Natural Language Understanding, Natural Language Generation, Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Big Data Analytics, Text Mining, Data Mining, Time Series Analysis, Relational and NoSQL Database Management Systems, Information Retrieval, Business Intelligence, High-Performance Computing, and Cloud Computing.
