Giuseppe De Giacomo is an Italian computer scientist. He is a Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford (Oxford, UK),[4] and Professor of Computer Engineering at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome (Rome, Italy).[5] He is also a Senior Research Fellow at the Green Templeton College.
Education[edit]
De Giacomo obtained his master's degree in Electronic Engineering in 1991 at Sapienza University of Rome. After that, in 1995,[6] he earned his PhD from the same institution, under the supervision of Maurizio Lenzerini.[7]
Career and research[edit]
After the PhD, De Giacomo visited Yoav Shoham at Stanford University and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto in the Cognitive Robotics research group,[8] working with Hector Levesque and Ray Reiter. De Giacomo returned to Sapienza University as a faculty member in 1998.[9]
De Giacomo's research interests concern theoretical, methodological, and applicative aspects of different areas of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science.[10] He is internationally renowned for his significant contributions to the field of knowledge representation and reasoning, situation calculus, generalized forms of automated planning, temporal logics, verification and synthesis of KR-based systems, and business process modeling. De Giacomo has co-authored over 300 publications in top scientific journals and conference proceedings.[11][12] His research was seminal to the area of description logics and ontologies for the introduction of a tractable fragment of description logics called DL-Lite.[13]
De Giacomo served as associate program chair at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) in 2021,[14] as program chair for the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) in 2020,[15] and as program chair for the International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) in 2014.[16]
Awards and honors[edit]
In 2019, De Giacomo was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for the project titled White-Box Self-Programming Mechanisms (WhiteMech) (2019-2024).[17][18]
In 2016, De Giacomo was elected an AAAI Fellow "for significant contributions to the field of knowledge representation and reasoning, and applications to data integration, ontologies, planning, and process synthesis and verification".[1] He was also elected an ACM Fellow "for contributions to description logics, data management, and verification of data-driven processes"[2] in 2015, and an EurAI Fellow[3] in 2012.
He and his co-authors won the Classic Paper Award from the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence in 2021,[19] and the first 10-year Test-of-Time Award from the International Conference on Service Oriented Computing in 2013.[20][21]
Entrepreneurial activities[edit]
De Giacomo is the co-founder and scientific advisor of OBDA systems,[22] an innovation startup of Sapienza University of Rome, and a company of the Almawave Group.
