Fabio Grandi

Fabio GrandiFabio Grandi received from the University of Bologna, Italy, a Laurea degree cum Laude in electronics engineering in 1988 and a Ph.D. in electronics engineering and computer science in 1994. From 1989 to 2002 he has worked at the CSITE center of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in Bologna in the field of neural networks and temporal databases, initially supported by a CNR fellowship. In 1993 and 1994 he was an Adjunct Professor at the Universities of Ferrara, Italy, and Bologna. In the University of Bologna, he was with the Dept. of Electronics, Computers and Systems from 1994 to 1998 as Research Associate and as Associate Professor from 1998 to 2012, when he joined the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering. He is currently an Associate Professor of Information Systems in the School of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Bologna. His scientific interests include temporal, evolution and versioning aspects in data management, WWW and Semantic Web, knowledge representation, storage and index structures and access cost models.
