I am interested in problems related to the management of databases and knowledge. My focus in this broad context is on data on the Web (Semantic Web and Linked Data, in particular) and on graph data, as well as on problems in which the data is distributed over multiple, autonomous and/or heterogeneous sources (keywords: federated data management, federated knowledge graphs). Other keywords that appear in some of my work are data provenance and data quality. Regarding all of these topics, my interests range from theoretical foundations (e.g., complexity and expressive power of query languages) all the way to systems-building related research (e.g., efficient storage of datasets and databases, query processing, and query optimization).
September 20, 2023:
New paper: With my PhD student Shahrzad Khayatbashi and colleague Amin Jalali (Stockholm University) we have a paper titled "Transforming Event Knowledge Graph to Object-Centric Event Logs: A Comparative Study for Multi-dimensional Process Analysis" at ER 2023.
We have made available the camera-ready version of this paper. Additionally, you may look at the
Github repo with an implementation of the transformation defined in the paper.
