Abstract

Antoine Zimmermann graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Informatique et de Mathématiques Appliquées de Grenoble (ENSIMAG) and got a Master of Science from the Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France (now Université Grenoble-Alpes). He hold a Doctorate in Computer Science from Université Joseph Fourier, where he defended in October 2008. Between February 2009 and September 2010, he worked at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (replaced by Insight NUI Galway, now part of Insight Centre for Data Analytics), at the National University of Ireland, Galway (now University of Galway). Between October 2010 and August 2011, he was a lecturer at Institut Nationale de Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA Lyon) and a researcher at Laboratoire d’InfoRmatique en Image et Système d’information (LIRIS). Since September 2011, he is teaching at École des Mines de Saint-Étienne and is a member of Institut Henri Fayol. In February 2021, he defended and obtained his Habilitation à diriger des recherches from Université Jean Monnet, Saint-Étienne. He conducts his research in Laboratoire d’informatique, de modélisation et d’optimisation des systèmes. He was previously a member of Laboratoire Hubert Curien.

His research interests are related to the Semantic Web in most of its branches from knowledge representation and reasoning, to data management and processing, to Web-based multiagent systems, in particular in scenarios where the notion of context of information is key. His approaches are designed to maximise interoperability. Antoine is a believer in open standards and has participated in W3C standardisation groups.
