I am a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft, The Netherlands. My current research on the RePlanIT project explores the ways the Semantic Web and specifically knowledge graphs can be utilised to support trusted and FAIR data sharing in the Circular Economy domain, while keeping humans-in-the-loop.

I completed my PhD in the Semantic Technology Institute (STI) Innsbruck, Department of Computer Science, University of Innsbruck, Austria. My doctoral research focused on supporting machines and humans in making sense of informed consent, for sensor data sharing in smart cities, with knowledge graphs. My work on the smashHit H2020 and CampaNeo FFG projects, helped bridge the gap between the Semantic Web, Human-Computer Interaction and Privacy fields. Prior to that, I received an MSc in Advanced Computer Science from Cardiff University, The United Kingdom, where I also completed my BSc in Computer Science and Visual Computing.
As of 2023, I am part of European Data Protection Board’s pool of experts in new technologies, privacy and data protection.

My interests include the Semantic Web, Privacy, Human-Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

What can Knowledge Graphs do for the Circular Economy?

The ICT sector is responsible for 3-6% of global CO2 emissions (comparable to the cement industry) with a predicted increase of up to 14% in 2040, without sustainable interventions. The main barriers include the limited availability, accessibility and interoperability of ICT, materials and circular economy data across organisations.

This session will present our F.A.I.R. solution(s) that can aid this digital transition. We will showcase the RePlanIT's ontology and knowledge graph for representing and storing dynamic digital product passports (DPPs) of ICT such as laptops in a graph format. Further, we will discuss how such DPPs can be potentially utilised to help predict the need and timing of ICT maintenance, determine the remaining technical lifetime of components in the case of refurbishment and support more sustainable human decision-making such as procurement.

Representing and Managing Consent for Data Sharing with Knowledge Graphs

The expansion of the Internet of Things has allowed connecting everyday devices to a network that could be accessed at any time and has defined data as a new currency. Data sharing has been a research topic for many years but a unified solution that could be used as a standard has not been presented yet. Further, ways to enable data sharing and make the process fully transparent, from receiving consent until it is revoked, to the end user are yet to be discovered.
My research focuses on sensor data and will solve the issue of data sharing between multiple entities based on informed user consent by using knowledge graphs. This session will raise awareness regarding semantics, data sharing, user consent and the implications of its issuing and withdrawal.
