Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz

I am a Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Senior Tutor for Research at City, 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 15 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.
