Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz

I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Computer Science Director of Research at City St George’s, University of London affiliated to the Adaptive Computer Systems and Machine Learning group. I am also one of the chairs of the Alan Turing Institute Interest Group on Knowledge Graphs.

I previously held a Senior Research Associate position at The Alan Turing Institute in London (UK), a Research Assistant position at the University of Oxford, a part-time research position in the Centre for Scalable Data Access (SIRIUS) at the University of Oslo, Norway; and a PhD fellowship at the (Universitat Jaume I, Castellon, Spain) working in the Temporal Knowledge Bases Group. My home university awarded a “Premio extraordinario de doctorado” (roughly translated as a Extraordinary Doctoral Award) to the research outcomes of my doctoral thesis (Engineering category 2010-2011).

My research, over the past 20 years, has covered several areas within AI. Currently, I focus on the intersection between Knowledge Representation (e.g., Knowledge Graphs) and Machine Learning with a special interest in creating more reliable and robust AI solutions. Knowledge graphs play a key role in AI and Data Science to enhance data-driven techniques with, among others, context and explainability.
