Paolo Papotti

Short Bio

• Sept.'07/June'08 - Visiting Post-Doc Scholar at University California Santa Cruz, under the supervision of Prof. Wang-Chiew Tan to work on information integration and schema mappings.
• Feb.'07/Now - Post-Doc at Universita' Roma Tre. Designing and implementing GAIA: a system supporting the novel problem of schema exchange.
  Working on large scale information integration from the Web within the Flint project.
• Sept.'05/March'06 - Visiting IBM Almaden research center, California. Designed and implemented a novel generation engine for the Clio schema mapping tool.
• Oct.'03/Mar.'07 - Ph.D. student at Universita' Roma Tre in the database group. Designed and implemented Chameleon, a system for generic data translations between different data models (e.g., XML Schema, Relational, DTD, etc).
