I am an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Computer Science at King’s College London, United Kingdom. My research revolves around culturally-informed Artificial Intelligence, in particular multimodal knowledge graphs, Web data APIs, music semantics, and knowledge representation and reasoning for digital humanities and cultural heritage.
My research often involves integrating diverse data types (text, audio, symbolic music) into unified semantic frameworks. I have worked extensively on the creation, integration, and application of knowledge graphs, especially in cultural and musical domains (musical heritage, chord corpora, musical harmony, emotion recognition) and, more recently, in combination with large language models (LLMs) and Generative AI for tasks like ontology engineering and retrieval augmented generation.
I co-lead the KCL Knowledge Graphs Lab with Elena Simperl and I am co-director of the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted AI.
