PI - PhD in Smart Social Data Spaces for energy transition of vulnerable populations at DeustoTech, University of Deusto

DeustoTech offers the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research into the use of Data Spaces for the execution of federated algorithms that enable fair management of the advantages and duties of energy communities in which vulnerable people live. The automatic generation of data models using AI technology will enable the construction of a unified data model for Data Spaces that facilitates adoption by stakeholders involved in the socio-economic ecosystem. In addition, the design of a federated algorithm that allows decision-making without sharing the raw data of stakeholders in its entirety adds a first-rate scientific challenge. The opportunity to carry out the design and validation in a real environment, within a European collaborative project, gives this opportunity enormous potential.
