I am an FWF Elise Richter Fellow at the Faculty of Informatics of the Technical University of Vienna where I lead the Semantic Systems Research Group. My work combines research from the areas of Semantic Web (ontology engineering, knowledge graphs, linked data, ontology based data integration, knowledge acquisition) and Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (cyber-physical social systems).
Some example intelligent applications I investigated include: exploratory search, question answering, defect detection, decision support systems.
Major application areas are: Industry4.0, tourism, Smart City, Software Engineering.
