Declan O'Sullivan

UPDATE 28th AUGUST 2025: I am a Professor in Computer Science in the Knowledge and Data Engineering research group in SCSS, and a Principal Investigator in the SFI ADAPT centre (https://www.adaptcentre.ie/) I am generally interested in projects that have to cope with diverse data, both structured and unstructured, including geospatial data. Typically the projects I supervise use AI-based knowledge driven techniques such as linked data, semantic web, Knowledge Graphs, using W3C-based technologies such as RDF, SPARQL, OWL and RML. In this context I also have an interest in the use of LLM/generative AI approaches to compliment these approaches. Generally I have an interest in how non-knowledge engineers/non-computer scientists experience, visualise and interact with data represented in knowledge graphs. In this context, I work with a variety of Humanities researchers (e.g. virtualtreasury.ie, searobend.ie, voicesproject.ie and fairvasc.eu) Some projects already on offer are below, but also do check back, as I will be updating this page with more projects up until mid September. However, if you have a particular project you think might be of interest to me that uses such techniques, email me with a description and your idea.
