Alex Donkers
I’ve been fascinated about technology and the built environment since I was a little kid. While building the biggest LEGO-cities in my parents garage, my granddad taught me how to connect light bulbs with batteries. 15 years later, I’m combining my passion for tech and the built environment as a PhD researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology. I research how we could connect and use data from heterogeneous sources in the built environment. To do so, I use Semantic Web Technologies. Integrating decentralized datasources into a web of data is an essential step in reaching data-driven decision-making in the construction industry.
