Short Bio

My name is Kostas Stefanidis and I am currently a Marie Curie fellow, funded by the ERCIM Alain Bensoussan, at the Data and Information Management Group of Prof. Kjetil Norvag of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Previously, I worked at the research group of Prof. Yufei Tao at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Chinese
University of Hong Kong. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Ioannina, Greece, in 2009, under the supervision of Prof. Evaggelia Pitoura. The title of my PhD thesis is: Personalized Data Management: Models, Algorithms and Systems.

My research interests lie in the intersection of databases, information retrieval, and web.
