Academic Achievements
- Developed multiple open-source tools and platforms:
- - Nanopub RS: A cross-platform Rust toolkit for signing and publishing RDF Nanopublications, with Python and JavaScript (WebAssembly) bindings.
- - RDFLib endpoint: A Python library to deploy SPARQL endpoints from RDFLib Graphs, exposing ML models or custom logic via SPARQL functions.
- - Shapes of You: A web service indexing OWL ontologies and SHACL shapes from public Git repos and generating metadata for active SPARQL endpoints.
- - FAIR enough: An ecosystem (Python + web service) to define, publish, and execute extensible FAIR principle compliance evaluations.
- - Knowledge Collaboratory: An ecosystem for publishing and retrieving scientific claims as Nanopublications using Translator standards (BioLink model, Reasoner API).
- Maintains academic profiles on Google Scholar, HAL, and dblp.
Research Experience
- Developed the Data Science Research Infrastructure, an OpenShift/Kubernetes cluster for academic researchers to deploy JupyterHub, RStudio, and VS Code workspaces.
- Built Data2Services, a framework to generate services from structured data using semantically meaningful models.
- Constructed an RDF knowledge graph integrating biomedical and clinical data sources.
- Contributed to the NIH NCATS Translator project’s Knowledge Graph Standardization effort.
- Advanced the BioLink model.
- Worked on the Bio2RDF project at Quebec University, where he first recognized data access challenges in research and healthcare.
