Re: Welcome to the Web & AI Interest Group (WebAI) - Please introduce yourselves.

Hello Fabien and everyone, 

I am excited to be part of this initiative. My name is Hanna Abi Akl and I am Chief Academic Officer at Data ScienceTech Institute School of Engineering [1]. I am also a PhD student at INRIA. 

One of my main topics of interest lies at the exploration and formalization of new language representations in AI that are frugal, web-friendly and expressive [2] . I am also part of the AI KR [3] , Cognitive AI [4] and Knowledge Graph Construction [5] W3C initiatives. 

Looking forward to exchanging ideas and collaborating with you all! 

Best, 
Hanna
