- Profile
-
Fabio Ciravegna is Professor of Pervasive Technologies and Head of OAK Group. He is the Academic Director and founder of the University Technology Centre in Artificial Intelligence for Defence and Security.
His research field concerns large scale data collection and analysis from multiple devices and multiple modes.
He has created technologies for tracking mobility used by a million users and which have collected over a billion mobility data points. He has created three spin out companies, two of which in the area of tracking and modelling mobility.
He is currently the CEO of Aeqora Ltd (aeqora.com), a company providing solutions for tracking of physical movements using mobile technologies and IoT.
In 2016-1019 he was the director of the European project Seta, (www. setamobility.eu, 15 partners, €5.5m) which aimed to build a ubiquitous data and service ecosystem for metropolitan mobility.
In 2012-2016 he was Director of the European Project WeSenseIt (14 partners, €6.5m budget) on creating citizen observatories of water. In 2006-2010 he was director of the European Integrated Project IST XMedia (15 partners, €13.6m budget) and in 2002-2005 he was director of the EU project Dot.Kom. He is part of the editorial board of the International Journal on Web Semantics.
In 2009-2012 he was the Director of Research and Innovation in the Digital World for the University of Sheffield.
In 2009 he was General Chair of the European Semantic Web Conference. He holds a PhD from the University of East Anglia and a Doctorship from the University of Torino, Italy.
- Research interests
-
Focus is on knowledge and information management over large scale. The research covers 3 main areas:
- How to capture information over large scale (the Web, the Social Web, distributed organisational archives, mobile devices, drones, sensors, etc)
- How to use the captured information (eg for knowledge management, business intelligence, customer analysis, management of large scale events via social media)
- How to communicate the information (to final users, problem owners, etc)
Research areas covered are knowledge and information management, Web technologies, human computer interaction, search technologies and natural language processing.
Prof Ciravegna’s research income since 2006 tops £8.5 million, of which about 15% directly from industry (eg Rolls-Royce plc, Football Whispers, JustGiving, etc)
