Miguel Ceriani is a researcher and semantic web developer with over a decade of experience building web-based applications and knowledge-graph solutions in academic and research environments. He blends deep expertise in linked data, ontologies and declarative integration with practical front-end engineering—his open-source contributions include UI fixes and refactors to the widely used Google Blockly project. Miguel has applied semantic technologies across domains from digital humanities to climate data and computational genomics, and has a strong track record of lowering adoption barriers for non-experts. He has taught and supervised students at multiple universities, co-supervising a PhD and advising numerous bachelor theses. Based in Rome, he couples hands-on coding (since age 11) with formal research training (PhD-level work and a Master's in Computer Science) and experience designing interoperable data models for EU projects like Audio Commons. An unexpected facet of his background is a long-standing engagement with theatre and acting, which informs his collaborative and communication approach to research and teaching.
