Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavide Mottin is an associate professor and researcher with 13 years of experience specializing in knowledge graphs, graph databases, and applying machine learning and data mining to model user behavior. He leads work on weak-semantics query paradigms like Exemplar Queries and studies failing queries from optimization and practical perspectives, bridging theoretical database research with user-centric search applications. His career spans academia and industry research stints at Aarhus University, Hasso Plattner Institute, Microsoft Research Asia and Yahoo, reflecting a strong track record in graph mining and query systems. Trained with a PhD from the University of Trento and a top-ranked MSc, he combines rigorous formal methods with hands-on experimentation on real-world search and ranking problems. An intriguing thread through his work is treating user queries as examples rather than strict specifications, enabling more flexible retrieval in complex graph-structured data.
