I am a Research Associate at the Data Science Group of the Knowledge Media Institute (KMi), in the U.K.

My area of research is the interaction of robots and cities in the context of the MK:Smart project. I am currently investigating how to use mobile sensors such as robots to dynamically acquire and update knowledge about a smart environment.

During my Ph.D. research, I focused on exploiting Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery. I studied how to use Linked Data as a background knowledge to explain patterns of data in an automatic way. I combined different Machine Learning and graph techniques to create a framework that could explain patterns automatically using information found in the Linked Data.
