Anastasia Dimou

Anastasia Dimou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at KU Leuven's Faculty of Engineering Technology, affiliated with the Declarative Languages and Artificial Intelligence (DTAI) research group at the De Nayer Campus in Sint-Katelijne-Waver.

Her research centers on semantic web technologies and knowledge graphs, specializing in RDF mapping frameworks (RML), SHACL validation, and knowledge graph generation for machine learning applications. She develops methods for heterogeneous data integration, stream processing, and ensuring data quality through rule-based validation and inconsistency resolution.

Recent publications (2019-2023) demonstrate expertise in RML ontology design, SHACL validation techniques, and systematic reviews of RDF graph generation. Key projects include 'Knowledge Graphs for Machine Learning Data Management' (2021-2023) and 'Knowledge Graphs for Data Integration' (2022-2026), focusing on scalable knowledge graph applications.

Dr. Dimou serves on the Council of the Faculty of Engineering Technology, the Computer Science Department Council, and the POC Elektronica-ICT for the Faculty of Industrial Engineering Sciences, contributing to institutional governance and academic strategy.

As part of DTAI, she collaborates on declarative language applications in artificial intelligence, with teaching responsibilities spanning Web AI, Data Engineering, and Knowledge Graph courses that bridge theoretical research with practical implementation.
