Hi! I’m Piotr, a PhD student at the Warsaw University of Technology, advised by Maria Ganzha. In 2024 I did a research visit at TU Berlin’s PICOM lab, under the supervision of Danh Le Phuoc. I do both research and programming, mostly around the topics of knowledge graphs, streaming, Cloud-Edge-IoT systems, and machine learning. You can find out more about my scientific work in the publications section.

I’m a strong supporter of open science and open source software, so I try to publish everything I can under free licenses. Check out the projects section or my GitHub profile, maybe you will find something useful there.

Most recently my focus is on making knowledge graph (RDF) streaming systems more efficient and practical. My work includes: the RDF Stream Taxonomy, RiverBench – an open RDF streaming benchmark suite, and Jelly – a super-efficient RDF streaming protocol with implementations for Apache Jena and RDF4J.

Oh, and do check out my blog, where I write about research, programming (Python, Scala…), technology, and a few other things.
