About Me
Research
My research lies in the areas of Databases, Semantic Web, and Artificial Intelligence, where I have extensively investigated novel techniques to query Knowledge Graphs efficiently and effectively. More recently, I have studied the application of Machine Learning approaches to solve diverse problems in the management of Knowledge Graphs.
