Christoph Lofi

Dr. Christoph Lofi serves as an Associate Professor in the Web Information Systems group at TU Delft's Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, where he focuses on developing semantic-based data engineering methodologies for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data management platforms. His research addresses critical challenges in extracting knowledge from unstructured data, handling meta-data, and semantic query processing, with particular emphasis on high-impact societal domains including agricultural sciences, public health, and nutrition. As Director of Studies for BSc Computer Science and Engineering, he has made significant contributions to data education, earning recognition through three nominations for the Teacher of The Year Awards. His academic impact is evidenced by over 1,500 citations and an h-index of 24, reflecting his substantial contributions to machine learning bias mitigation, data engineering, and semantic systems. Currently, he leads several data management courses at TU Delft while actively working to strengthen data education both within and outside the university, particularly through developing AI Skills courses focusing on data engineering and pipeline development.
