Welcome to my home page!
After being a PostDoc for two years at MIT (2005-2007),
I am now working as a full-time researcher at HP Labs.
This web page serves temporarily as my professional page.

I am interested in conducting research in the broad area of software systems,
with an emphasis on data management systems.
Please see my CV and the list of my publications.


Here's a pic of me and a short bio:
Stavros Harizopoulos is currently a full-time researcher at HP Labs. He received a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Crete, Greece in 1998, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 2000 and 2005, respectively. From 2005 to 2007 he worked as a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Database group of MIT. His research interests are in database system design, implementation, and performance. Stavros's Ph.D. thesis research focused on improving database system performance by taking into account modern hardware architectures. Currently, he is investigating column-oriented database system designs for high-performance data warehouses. Stavros is a recipient of a best-demonstration award (ICDE 2006), an IBM Ph.D. fellowship, a Lilian Voudouri Foundation Ph.D. fellowship, and the Best Polytechnic Student Award from the Technical Chamber of Greece.
