Biography
Research fellow at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies of the University of Bologna. Graduated in 2020 from the Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge (DHDK) master’s program, I currently work at OpenCitations, a Open Science infrastructure that serves open, accessible and reusable scholarly metadata to foster transparent and reproducible processes that support research, policies and other scientific endeavours.
My research interests focus on the intersection between Data Management, Semantic Web technologies and Open Science, with an emphasis on the lifecycle of machine-actionable metadata.
My technical expertise lies in Ontology Engineering and, in general, in the design and development of semantic artifacts - such as ontologies and knowledge graphs - that aim to be compliant with the FAIR and CARE principles. I am also interested in implementing scalable pipelines for the automatic or semi-automatic extraction, manipulation, and transformation of data into open formats, including Linked Open Data. Moreover, I am dedicated to developing software tools - mainly using Python - that facilitate efficient data management and documentation.
Education
Once graduated in Cultural Heritage Sciences (L-1) in 2017 from the University of Milan, I then obtained a master’s degree in Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge (LM-43) in 2020 from the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies at the University of Bologna, with a thesis on the development of an ontology for the conceptual modelling of medieval manuscripts (which I published as a scientific article).
After work experiences both in research and in the private sector, in 2023 I took on the role of research fellow at the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Bologna, at the Ravenna campus, working on data modelling, data management, software development and Open Science in various projects focused on digitisation and valorisation of cultural heritage.
