My fellowship tackles the following gap, the standardisation of clinical information, as clinical information must be standardised to ensure the secure and effective use of language models in electronic health records (EHRs). 

Through this fellowship project, I am directly pursuing the development, approval, and publication of the following standards: ISO 22739:2024 ‘Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies – Vocabulary’, ISO/TR 24332  ‘Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology in relation to authoritative records, records systems, and records management’ and ISO/NP 24982 ‘Digital currencies – Vocabulary’.

There is a lack of standard procedures installers can employ to determine whether their installation work has caused new electromagnetic interference problems. The challenge is to develop guidelines to help detect major emissions problems in the field early to fix them promptly, in a proactive and preventive manner that are complementary and coherent with standard emissions tests as part of compliance assessment. 

My fellowship aims to contribute to ongoing efforts related to standardisation and European policy, advising on topics related mainly to Robotics and Autonomous Systems and Artificial Intelligence.

Within my WG, we address the gap in the link between digitisation and environmental sustainability, and particularly of products and services. Specifically, digital devices and related elements ranging from materials to e-waste are a significant part of our environmental problem. 

Overall, I am taking a more holistic view of the AI standardisation roadmap while pursuing in parallel my contributions to specific AI standards in SC 42 and JTC 21.

The development of ICT standards for QT is crucial for establishing harmonised approaches and interoperability within the EU, thus ensuring the successful deployment of large-scale quantum networks. 

In this fellowship, I work on the analysis of the Digital Twins (DT) landscape with a focus on the urban domain. We focused on two priority gaps that, once solved, may enable the modelling of complex DT through the exclusive use of the SAREF suite to enhance the interoperable communication between entities composing a DT; and to enable the modelling of time series to represent how a DT evolves through time.

Explainability is critical for ensuring trustworthiness of state-of-the-art AI. Standardising explainability will build consensus on best practices methods that allow developers to build more high-performing systems, provide enhanced end-user experience, and facilitate oversight.

Improving security is one of the most, if not the most, important priorities for the evolution and future development of the IoT.

In my role as a circular economy expert, I actively contribute to the advancement of Smart Circular Economy Standards for Europe. I ensure that standards align with EU policies like the European Green Deal, advocating for their integration into standardisation efforts. 

There is a strong emphasis on safety, accessibility, energy & environment and highly relevant for the future ISO/TC 178 activities are also focusing now to a strong extent on ICT.
