Angelica Lo Duca is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the National Research Council of Pisa. In 2012, she recevied her Ph.D. in Ingegneria dell'Informazione from the University of Pisa. She received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Engineering from University of Pisa respectively in 2005 and 2007.

Currently, she works at the Web Applications for the Future Internet Laboratory, in the Semantic Web and Data Visualization group. Her research interests include Semantic Web, Data Integration, Data Science and Data Security, applied to the fields of tourism and cultural heritage. She wrote more than 10 papers covering these topics. She also supervised different thesis about open linked data, cultural heritage and tourism.
