My research interests revolve around Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. More specifically, my research focuses on the use of Semantic Web technologies (OWL2 ontologies, Knowledge Graphs, Rules and Reasoning Systems) for the declarative representation of knowledge and the development of intelligent systems in various application domains, including:
Semantic Web Services
Ambient Intelligence
Health and Ambient Assisted Living
Smart Cities
Security
Earth Observation
Cultural Heritage
Creative Industries
Software Engineering
Human-Computer Interaction and Conversational Agents
OWL-S, WSMO
Description Logics and Rules for hybrid semantic Web service matchmaking
Functional, non-functional similarity metrics
Object-oriented semantic Web service matchmaking
Ontology-based modelling of heterogeneous information
Reuse and extension of ontology design patterns (ODPs)
Meta-modelling (punning)
Data integration and fusion using rules
IoT and multi-sensor frameworks
Transformation / Mapping services of information to RDF Knowledge Graphs
Context understanding in multi-sensor environments
Decision making and semantic interpretation
Situational and human awareness
User profiling and behavioural modelling
Question answering
Multi-modal conversational awareness
Semantic dialogue management
Knowledge enrichment and Linked Data
Representation and querying of geospatial Linked Data
