My FOAF description (FOAF project)


I'm a co-founder and CEO of DataRiver, a Spin-Off of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia founded on June 2009 to deliver the Open Source version of the MOMIS Data Integration System. I'm a member of the DBGroup research group at the "Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia" led by Prof. Sonia Bergamaschi.

I obtained the PhD degree at the Doctorate School in "ICT - Computer Engineering and Science" , "Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia", in 2009. My PhD advisors were Prof. Domenico Beneventano and Prof. Isabel F. Cruz
My PhD thesis: "Query Management in Data Integration Systems: the MOMIS approach"

During 2008, I was a visiting researcher at the ADVIS Research LaboratoryDepartment of Computer ScienceUniversity of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) , led by Prof. Isabel F. Cruz. The research period was funded by the scholarship “Gruppo Giovani Imprenditori” – Confindustria Modena.

I obtained the "Laurea" Degree in Computer Engineering at the "Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia", Faculty of Engineering, in 2004.
My Degree dissertation: "Interoperabilità tra ontologie eterogenee: i traduttori OWL - ODLI3"

Research Interests

My research activities are in the context of Data Integration Systems, Global Query Management and Semantic Web and are devoted to integration, mapping and querying of ontologies.
The goal of my current research activity is to investigate about the problem of "object fusion" in query processing over heterogeneous sources in a distributed framework (such, as an information integration system, a peer-to-peer network) taking into account the object identification problem and the problem of inconsistent information among different sources. The aim of my research is to study a general framework for distributed query processing which takes into account the object fusion problem both in query formulation (by user preferences) and in query rewriting and execution.

Main research topics:
  • Information Integration
  • Object Fusion
  • Distributed Query processing
  • Semantic Web
  • Access Control in Data Integration Systems
