About
Naomi Jacobs is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT), semantic technologies, and blockchain, with a particular focus on supply chain transparency and provenance. Her most-cited paper, “Recording Provenance of Food Delivery Using IoT, Semantics and Business Blockchain Networks” (2019, 8 citations), exemplifies her core contribution: designing secure, tamperproof data management systems that combine inexpensive IoT sensors with blockchain to solve real-world problems like food safety and trust in delivery logistics. By integrating semantic web standards, Jacobs ensures that the data captured is not only immutable but also machine-readable and interoperable, enabling smarter, automated oversight. Her work addresses the pressing need for accountability in increasingly complex supply chains, from farm to table. While her citation count is still growing, Jacobs’ research is notable for its practical, interdisciplinary approach—bridging hardware, data science, and decentralized networks. For students and researchers interested in the future of trustworthy digital infrastructure, Jacobs offers a compelling model of how emerging technologies can be harnessed to build more transparent and resilient systems.
