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

Hello everyone, 

My name is Fabien Gandon [1], I am a research director at Inria [2], and founder of the Wimmics Lab [3] working on methods based on Web and AI techniques typically to assist epistemic communities in managing, accessing, refining, enriching, their knowledge. 
In addition I am a professor and vice-head of scientific board of the Data ScienceTech Institute School of Engineering [4], and holder of a 3IA Chair at the Interdisciplinary Institute of Artificial Intelligence of University Côte d'Azur since 2019. 

I am also the AC Rep of Inria at W3C since 2012, and my lab and I have been mainly involved in linked data and semantic Web groups since 1999: RDF, SPARQL, RDFa, GRDDL, SHACL, RDFS, OWL, etc. 
We provide one of the open-source implementations for these standards : CORESE [5] 

My primary research topics are : Artificial Intelligence (symbolic and neuro-symbolic), Graph based Knowledge Representation, Linked Data, Ontologies, Semantic Web (see my papers for more details [6][7]). 

I am also interested in the impact of advances of computer science on the Web in general, for instance the impact of "attention-capture techniques" on the Web [8][9]. 

I will be the co-chair of the WebAI group and I am looking forward to interact with you all. 

Best regards,
