Welcome!
My name is Konstantinos Semertzidis and I hold a PhD from the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering of the University of Ioannina in Greece, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. E. Pitoura. I received my BSc in Computer Science from the same institution (former Dept. of Computer Science) in 2012, and my MSc in Computing in 2013 from the University of York. I have worked as a Research Intern at IBM Research (2015) and Nokia Bell Labs (2016) in Ireland. In October 2018, I joined IBM Client Innovation Centre UK, in the capacity of an Application Developer working on Inventory Linking Exports/ Re-arrivals project of HM Revenue and Customs. In February 2019, I joined the IBM Research lab in Ireland, working in the capacity of a Research Engineer in the Cognitive IoT group. My research interests include evolving graph data management, query processing, graph databases, and social network analysis.
