Evangelos Pafilis completed, in January 2009, his PhD studies at the Data Integration and Knowledge Management group at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). (PhD awarded jointly with the University of Heidelberg) Currently, he is fulfilling his military service (estimated end date: 19th March 2010).
For his PhD project Evangelos employed technologies, such as web services and browser extensions, and combined them with existing data integration and text mining solutions.
The end result was the automated dissemination of biological knowledge pertinent to the biological entities and the small molecules mentioned in a web page and/or a user document.
His target user-groups range from plain-users to developers. Evangelos is involved in developing simple-to-use tools, such as Reflect and OnTheFly, for the former and programmatic interfaces for the latter.
Before moving to Heidelberg, Evangelos received his MRes in Bioinformatics from the University of Glasgow and completed a placement as a research assistant at XTeCT, a project that introduced him to the field of data integration in life sciences.
