Hello, world!
My name is Gianmarco De Francisci Morales and I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Yahoo! Research Barcelona.
In the past I worked as Research Associate at the HPC Lab of ISTI CNR in Pisa.
I hold a Ph.D. in CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) from IMT Lucca and Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Engineering from University of Catania.
My main research interest is in “big data” and Data Intensive Scalable Computing (DISC), somewhere in the sweet spot between data mining and parallel computing.
Hence, I am a heavy user of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
I am also a Pig committer and a Hadoop, S4 and Giraph contributor.
My Ph.D. thesis explored the issues around massive-scale Web mining using DISC.
“Big Data and the Web: Algorithms for Data Intensive Scalable Computing”.
Here also my PhD proposal for the (very) interested reader.
My Master’s thesis dealt with parallel multi-objective genetic algorithms for optimization of embedded systems. The software I contributed to is open source: Epic-Explorer
In my private life I love reading, cooking, traveling, and learning new languages.
Feel free to drop me an email: gdfm@gdfm.me
