Short bio

Agnieszka Ławrynowicz is Associate Professor at the Institute of Computing Science at Poznan University of Technology (PUT). Her research interests include artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, data science. Before joining academia, she worked in industry (Empolis, Bridgestone), and also was a leader of the PUT team in R&D projects funded by industry. She had an EU Marie-Curie fellowship within the PERSONET project on Web mining at the University of Ulster (2004). She was the PUT team leader in EU FP7 project e-LICO (“An e-Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Collaborative Research in Data Mining and Data-Intensive Science”)  (2010-2012). She is a Laureate of the Foundation for Polish Science under the POMOST program for the project LeoLOD “Learning and Evolving Ontologies from Linked Open Data” (2013-2015). She is a member of the Polish Artificial Intelligence Society, ECCAI and IAOA.
