Konstantinos Kotis (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7838-9691) owns a B.Sc. in Computation from University of Manchester (UMIST), UK and a Ph.D. in Information Management (Knowledge Representation/Ontology Engineering) from the University of the Aegean, Greece. He has worked as a post-doc researcher and adjunct lecturer at the AI Lab of the University of the Aegean (2005-2010), as an ERCIM “Allain Bensoussan” (Marie Curie) post-doc fellow at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland (2011-2012), and as a post-doc researcher at the University of Piraeus, Dept. of Digital Systems, AI Lab (2013-2018). He is currently an assistant professor at the University of the Aegean, Dept. of Cultural Informatics and Communication, and a research associate at the University of Piraeus, Dept. of Digital Systems, AI Lab. His research interests include but not limited to: Knowledge/Ontology Engineering, Semantic Web technologies, Semantic Data Management, the Semantic Internet/Web of Things, and Knowledge Graphs-based Chatbots. He has published more than 60 papers (Google Scholar’s h-index 16, citations > 1200) in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences and served as a reviewer and PC member in several journals and conference events. He has also contributed in several national and European projects from different roles/positions (in FP7, H2020, Interreg, and national programs).
Current Research Interests: Knowledge Graphs-based AI Museum chatbots, Semantic Immigration Trajectories, Social and Semantic IoT, Semantic Cultural Data Management.
