Education:

• PhD in Engineering in Computer Science, Sapienza University of Rome, 2017

Research Interests:

Console investigates foundational and practical aspects of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, especially ontology-mediated query answering and data quality. His work spans semantic technologies, incomplete data, and explainable AI, aiming to provide users with meaningful and informative answers over large, heterogeneous knowledge bases.

Across his latest publications he explores informativeness measures for query results, disaggregated data architectures for scalable workflows, and semantic explanations of machine-learning classifiers through ontologies, demonstrating a cohesive agenda that bridges symbolic AI and data management.

Scientific Awards:
