Yannis Tzitzikas
(PhD, University of Crete)
|
Yannis Tzitzikas is currently Assistant Professor in the
Computer Science Dep. at University of Crete (Greece) and Associate Researcher in Information Systems Lab
at FORTH-ICS (Greece). Before joining UofCrete and FORTH-ICS he was postdoctoral fellow at the
University of Namur (Belgium) and ERCIM postdoctoral fellow at ISTI-CNR (Pisa, Italy) and at
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. He conducted his undergraduate and graduate studies (MSc, PhD)
in the Computer Science Department at University of Crete. In parallel, he was a member of the
Information Systems Lab of FORTH-ICS where he conducted basic and applied research around
semantic-network-based information systems within several EU-founded research projects.
His research interests fall in the intersection of the following areas: Information Systems,
Information Indexing and Retrieval, Conceptual Modeling, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning,
and Collaborative Distributed Applications. His current research revolves around faceted metadata and
semantics (theory and applications),
the P2P paradigm (focusing on conceptual modelling issues, query evaluation algorithms
and automatic schema integration techniques), and flexible interaction schemes for information bases.
Lately he is also interested in digital preservation (theory, methodologies, technologies) and on
extending and applying Semantic Web technologies.
The results of his research have been published in more than 60 papers in refereed
international conferences and journals, and he has received two best paper awards
(at CIA'2003
and ISWC'07 ).

Personal Information & Links

I was born in
Athens
(Greece )
where I lived my first 6 years.
The next 6 years found me at
Rhodes.
Then I moved in
Crete
(the origin of my DNA), specifically at Heraklion city,
where I lived another 20 years.
Then with my beloved Tonia we started our journey to the north
starting from Pisa and ending to
Helsinki.
Then we decided to go a little bit more south,
and we moved to
Namur,
and currently to Heraklio.
Here are the today weather conditions of some of these cities:

A couple of photos with Tonia can be found
here.
My brother, Nick, is here too.
Also see
Kaloidena,
a monastery close to my father’s village (Ano Meros of Rethymnon, Crete) where I was baptized and engaged with
my beloved Tonia.
A couple of short newspaper articles (in Greek) can be found
here .
A set of links can be found here.
I have visited the countries.

There are four sorts of men:
He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool; shun him;
He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple; teach him;
He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep; wake him;
He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise; follow him.
