Summary
Franck Michel is a CNRS research engineer and researcher with over a decade of experience translating telecommunications and engineering expertise into academic research on knowledge graphs, Linked Data and FAIR/Open Science publishing. He holds a PhD focused on reconciling structural and semantic heterogeneity—notably translating NoSQL sources into RDF—and helps biodiversity institutions publish interoperable, machine-readable datasets at Web scale. His work spans system architecture, data discovery and query service design, and he has a track record of bridging academic collaboration (e.g., French National Museum of Natural History, Bioschemas) with practical tooling and deployment. More recently he studies the Attention Economy, investigating how platform-driven attention techniques exploit cognitive biases with societal impacts, bringing an interdisciplinary ethical lens to technical research. Based in France, Franck combines hands-on engineering roots in telecoms and neuroinformatics with deep semantic web scholarship to make distributed data both discoverable and reusable.
