Keynote speaker announced

We are pleased to announce that Krzysztof Janowicz, professor at the University of Vienna, will give a keynote titled “Alignment Challenges for a Sustainable and Just GeoAI” at the 4th International Workshop on Knowledge Graphs.

Krzysztof Janowicz works on spatial data science and is the head/chair of the Department of Geography and Regional Research. He is also editor-in-chief of the Semantic Web journal by SAGE. Before, he was a (full) professor of Geographic Information Science and Geoinformatics at the Geography Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), USA. At UCSB he was director of the Center for Spatial Studies and former program chair of UCSB's Cognitive Science Program. Before, he was an assistant professor at the GeoVISTA Center, Department of Geography at the Pennsylvania State University, USA. Before moving to the US, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi), University of Münster in Germany, for the international research training group on Semantic Integration of Geospatial Information and the Münster Semantic Interoperability Lab (MUSIL). He got his PhD in geoinformatics from the University of Münster in the summer of 2008. Methodologically, he works at the intersection of theory-driven (e.g., semantics) and data-driven (e.g., data mining) techniques.
