Currently working as lecturer professor at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. My competencies and interests mainly cover the areas of Information Systems Interoperability, Knowledge Modeling and Big Data Processing applied to various business domains.  

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Reims, France on 5 November 2009. I was senior researcher at Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France and at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where for several years I was working in various EU and national projects. 

Acted as evaluator and reviewer for the European Commission and for the Research Council of Norway, for the past twelve years. I was co-chair of the International Workshop on Methods, Evaluation, Tools and Applications for the Creation and Consumption of Structured Data for the e-Society (Meta4eS) between 2012-2019 and General Workshop Chair at OnTheMove Conferences and Workshops between 2016-2019. I act as Program Committee member for several prestigious international journals and conferences. I am co-chairing the RuleML+RR 8th Doctoral Consortium this year. 

 My current work is around Big Data projects and innovations. I particularly welcome and invite collaborations with students within larger collaboration frameworks involving the local IT industry and/or other Faculties. I have been awarded the ANIS Fellowship for innovations in Big Data teaching in 2008. More details can be found in the local media here.
