About me

Hi there! I’m Jerin George Mathew, a PhD graduate in Artificial Intelligence from Sapienza University of Rome.

I earned both my BSc (2017) and MSc (2020) in Computer Engineering with honors from Roma Tre University. My master’s thesis, supervised by Prof. Donatella Firmani and Prof. Paolo Merialdo, focused on exploring and designing Interpretable AI techniques, with applications to cluster labeling.

In 2021 I joined the Processes, Services and Software Engineering group at Sapienza University of Rome as a PhD student, under the supervision of Prof. Donatella Firmani and co-supervision of Prof. Massimo Mecella. During my PhD I worked on applying AI/ML techniques to data management problems, particularly in the context of Entity Resolution, in collaboration with Divesh Srivastava from AT&T Labs Research. I was also a visiting researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada, where I collaborated with Prof. Denilson Barbosa on Large Language Model-based crowsoursing techniques for QA and uncertainty estimation.

My main research interests include data management topics, such as Entity Resolution (ER) and Knowledge Graphs (KGs), as well as AI/ML topics, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and LLM agents. I have also worked on related topics, including Fairness, and participated in applied research projects in the area of Smart Manufacturing. In January 2025 I defended my PhD thesis, titled “Language Models for Information Quality: Methods and Applications”.
