Work Experience

• September 2010 - Present
  National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), Galway, Ireland
  PhD student
  Work on the SPITFIRE project, focusing on Modeling Linked Sensor Data and Incorporating Social Feedback and Community Sharing, i.e. developing ontolgies for sensor data plus social web applicants to interact with Sensor Data. Up to now I modeled sensor data as Linked Data starting from the alignment of already existing ontologies, focusing on better supporting context description and adaptation. I also proposed a method to improve automatic context understanding by sensors and I'm working also on a mapping among different sensor description languages and a web service providing sensor data.
