Senior Research Fellow

Biography

Evgeny Kharlamov is a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. He works on different aspects of Semantic Technologies with a particular focus on how they can address data integration and Big Data. Evgeny runs a EU funded project Optique on scalable end-user access to Big Data at Oxford University and was a co-investigator in the EU projects Webdam on Foundations of Data Management, and ACSI on Artifact-Centric Data Interoperation. Evgeny has published a number of papers in top-tier conferences (VLDB, ICDT, KR, CIKM, ISWC) and journals (TODS, JCSS).

In 2011-2012 Evgeny was a postdoctoral researcher at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB). In parallel with that, in 2011 he was a postdoctoral visiting researcher at the Department of Computer Science of Oxford University working with Michael Benedikt and at the University of Edinburgh working with Leonid Libkin. Evgeny obtained his PhD (2011) in computer science from the FUB, while the actual research was conducted in both FUB, under the supervision of Werner Nutt, and Télécom ParisTech, under the supervision of Pierre Senellart. In 2009-2010 Evgeny was first an intern and then a research assistant at Inria Saclay, France, working with Serge Abiteboul and Pierre Senellart. He got his European M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from both Dresden University of Technology and FUB in 2006. Evgeny is an alumni of the Novosibirsk State University, the Russian leading research school, where he studied mathematics.
