Welcome!

Since October 2020, I am substitute professor of the research group Web Science at the Institute AIFB of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany.

My research lies in the intersection of

• natural language processing (especially information extraction on text),

• machine learning, and

• knowledge representation (especially knowledge graphs and linked data).

Currently, I pursue research on scholarly data mining, scholarly recommender systems, and scholarly knowledge graphs. Among other things, I work on citation recommendation and scientific impact quantification.

My works are listed at Google Scholar, DBLP, and under Publications. The publications' source code is available at GitHub.

My recently published demos are

• PaperHunter (published at ECIR'19)

• ScholarSight (published at JCDL'19) and

• Linked Crunchbase (published in SWJ'18).

My recently published data sets are

• unarXive (published at Scientometrics'20 & BIR'19)

• the Microsoft Academic Knowledge Graph (published at ISWC'19) and

• the CrunchBase Knowledge Graph (published in SWJ'18 and an update on arXiv'19).

In the past, I had worked as postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Dr. York Sure-Vetter's research group "Web Science" at KIT. I was also part of Prof. Dr. Georg Lausen's research group at the University of Freiburg and prestigious JSPS fellow at Kyoto University in Japan. In 2017, I obtained my PhD in Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer's research group "Knowledge Management and Web Science" at KIT. The title of my PhD thesis is "Semantic Search of Novel Information."
