Short CV

Stelios Sfakianakis received his BSc in Computer Science in 1995 and his MSc with highest distinction in Advanced Information Systems in 1998 from the University of Athens. In January 2000 he joined the FORTH's Computational Medicine Laboratory. His interests include the semantic integration and composition of services in state of the art computational environments such as the Grid and the Semantic Web and the employment of statistical and computational approaches based on machine learning and data mining techniques for the analysis of high-throughput experiments, such as gene expression profiling and genomic sequencing. In the past he has worked in the design and implementation of a service oriented architecture for the realization of the Integrated Electronic Patient Health Record by the means of CORBA and Web Services middleware technologies. On the technical side his experience spans the application design and development using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the development of distributed systems using CORBA, Web/REST Services, and Grid Services, and the design of OWL/RDF-S ontologies and their employment in the semantics-based description of services. Additionally he has experience working in "open" operating systems like GNU/Linux and FreeBSD and in various programming languages such as C/C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Erlang, Lisp/Scheme.
