Andrea Giovanni Nuzzolese is Senior Researcher at the Institute of Sciences and Technologies of Cognition (ISTC) of the CNR where he is co-head of the Laboratory of Semantic Technologies. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science in 2014 at the University of Bologna studying methodologies and software architectures for the extraction of Knowledge Patterns from the Web. His research interests include ontology design, linked data, the Semantic Web, knowledge extraction from heterogeneous formats, natural language understanding, and social and assistive robotics mediated by knowledge graphs. He participated as a researcher in the “Interactive Knowledge Stack” (IKS) project (IP EU FP7) and MARIO (EU H2020). He is currently scientific director for CNR-ISTC of the Water Health Open knoWledge project (WHOW – 2019-EU-IA-0089 EU CEF Telecom - Public Open Data) aimed at designing and implementing a framework to encourage the creation of a vast ecosystem of data on consumption and quality of water, health parameters and the spread of diseases. He is lead researcher for CNR-ISTC in the Hybrid Human Artificial Collective Intelligence in Open-Ended Domains project (HACID – 101070588 HORIZON-CL4-2021-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-10) aimed at developing a new hybrid collective intelligence system (natural- artificial) for decision-making support for professionals facing complex and open-ended problems, promoting commitment, fairness and trust. He is also responsible for research units and member of the executive board of the Fostering Open Science in Social Science Research project (FOSSR – MUR PNRR IR IR0000008) which aims to become the Italian Open Science Cloud in which to integrate the innovative services developed by the project for data collection, their management and the analysis of data on economic and social change, according to the principle of equity. He was principal investigator of the project “Measuring the Impact of Research: Alternative Indicators” (MIRA) funded by the National Agency for Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR) within the theme “Research evaluation methods” of the program “ Research Ideas”. He was scientific manager for ISTC-CNR of the collaboration agreement with the Digital Innovation Team of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers aimed at designing and implementing the Italian Public Administration ontology network known as OntoPiA.

He has published more than 80 scientific works on ontology design, linked data, knowledge extraction, machine reading and sentiment analysis in international journals, conferences and workshops. He is a member of program committees of conferences and workshops on semantic web and ontology engineering. Furthermore, he is an area editor of the Journal of Web Semantics and serves as a reviewer for numerous international scientific journals in the domain of artificial intelligence and knowledge representation. He is co-founder of BUP Srl, an innovative start-up dedicated to the design and implementation of solutions for the creation and management of knowledge graphs.
