Stefano Ceri is full professor of Database Systems at the Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informazione, Politecnico di Milano; he has been visiting professor at the Computer Science Department of Stanford University between 1983 and 1990.
He is chairman of LaureaOnLIne, a fully online curriculum in Computer Engineering.
He is vice-director (for Politecnico di Milano) of the Executive board of Alta Scuola Politecnica, a school of excellence for master-level students which is jointly organized by Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino.
He was the chairman of the Computer Science Section of DEI (1992-2004).
His research interests are focused on:
He is responsible of several EU-Funded Projects projects at Politecnico di Milano, including W3I3: "Web-Based Intelligent Information Infrastructures" (1998-2000), WebSI: "Data Centric Web Services Integrator" (2002-2004) Cooper: "Cooperative Open Environment for Project Centered Learning" (2005-2007) and ProLearn "Network of Excellence in Professional Learning" (2005-2008).
He is co-inventor of WebML a model for the conceptual design of Web applications (US Patent 6,591,271, July 2003) and co-founder of Web Models, a startup of Politecnico di Milano focused on WebML commercialization by means of the product WebRatio. In 2006 he won an IBM Faculty Award and he leaded a joint team of scholars who developed the most complete solution at the Semantic Web Challenge.
He was Associate Editor of ACM-Transactions on Database Systems and IEEE-Transactions on Software Engineering, and he is currently an associated editor of several international journals. He is co-editor in chief of the book series "Data Centric Systems and Applications" (Springer-Verlag).
He is co-author of the books:
He is author of more than 200 articles on International Journals and Conference Proceedings, the list of the papers related to database technology is available at: http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/c/Ceri:Stefano.html.
