Co-supervisors: Tommaso Rodani, Mariarita de Luca The project will develop AI-powered FAIR digital ecosystem designed to automate the research data lifecycle through scalable architectures and autonomous pipelines. By integrating LLMs for metadata extraction and machine learning for data quality, the project will translate FAIR principles into machine-actionable processes within the EOSC framework, ensuring seamless interoperability across European research infrastructures. This PhD project shifts the data curation paradigm towards “FAIR-by-design” data ecosystems, integrating Artificial Intelligence directly into the data creation and ingestion phases to overcome the limitations of traditional data management. The candidate will design, set up, and validate highly scalable data architecture where critical data tasks are integrated with generative and predictive models. By utilizing advanced technologies and AI techniques the project aims to translate abstract FAIR principles into concrete, automated, machine-actionable processes. The ultimate goal is to engineer AI-powered FAIR digital ecosystem where data life cycle is managed in all its aspect. The candidate will orient these AI-augmented methodologies within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework, ensuring seamless interoperability across European research infrastructures.
