Stefano Ceri is full professor of database at Politecnico di Milano. He has been visiting professor at Stanford University between 1983 and 1990. He is director of Alta Scuola Politecnica.
Scientific Research
His research interests are focused on:
- extending database technologies for incorporating data distribution, deductive rules, active rules, and query languages for XML
- methods and languages for the specification of data-intensive Web sites, such as WebML
- search computing and crowd searching methods
- genomic computing
Some of the research projects he has been responsible of at Politecnico di Milano include W3I3: "Web-Based Intelligent Information Infrastructures" (1998-2000), WebSI: "Data Centric Web Services Integrator" (2002-2004), SeCo: [Search Computing] (2008-2013) and GenData2020: Data-Centric Genomic Computing (2013-2016).
He is one of the inventors of WebML, a modeling language for the conceptual design of web applications (US Patent 6,591,271, July 2003) and he is one of the co-founders of [WebRatio], a spinoff of Politecnico di Milano whose mission is to promote and commercialize development tools based on WebML and model-driven development in general (spanning Interaction Flow Modeling Language, BPMN, and Unified_Modeling_Language).
He won the VLDB Best Paper Award in 1991 and the VLDB Test of Time Award in 2000. He received an ERC Advanced Grant in 2008 for the Search Computing project. He received the ACM SIGMOD Edward F. Codd Innovations Award in 2013. He is member of the Academia Europaea.
