Research Hub¶
Welcome to the Dinis Cruz Research Hub, where I explore the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and knowledge management through practical projects and innovative approaches.
Research Areas¶
🔒 Cyber-Security & Threat Modeling¶
Next-generation approaches to application security, threat modeling, and security governance in the age of AI. Featuring 16 articles on semantic threat modeling, supply chain security, and AppSec innovation.
🤖 AI & Development¶
Exploring the practical applications of generative AI in software development, from LLM security patterns to deterministic data pipelines.
🕸️ Knowledge Graphs¶
Semantic graphs, ontologies, and their applications in security, AI, and knowledge management. Learn how graphs can transform the way we organize and connect information.
📰 The Future of News¶
Building trust in journalism through provenance, identity graphs, and new monetization models. Examining how technology can restore faith in news.
🇪🇺 Europe & Learning¶
Europe's AI governance, sovereign cloud opportunities, and the transformation of education through generative AI.
🚀 Projects & Innovation Lab¶
GenAI-driven tools, MVPs, and business ventures at the cutting edge. Over 36 active projects showcasing practical applications of emerging technologies.

Research Philosophy¶
My research focuses on practical, implementable solutions that bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world business needs. Every project and article aims to:
- Demonstrate feasibility through working prototypes and MVPs
- Share knowledge openly via open-source code and detailed documentation
- Connect domains by finding synergies between security, AI, and business
- Enable others by providing frameworks and tools others can build upon
