Efthymia Tsamoura received her BSc in 2007 and her PhD in 2013 with honours both from the Computer Science Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Since June 2013 she is a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Science Department of University of Oxford, working on problems related to querying semantically interrelated resources. Her research interests lie in the fields of data integration, query answering under constraints, distributed query optimization, multi-objective query optimization and grid computing. Efthymia received several distinctions and awards both during her undergraduate and postgraduate studies. • • RESEARCH • Today a vast amount of bioinformatics data resides on the web. Yet the usefulness of these resources is limited by the difficulty in harnessing the data to answer user information needs. In collaboration with researchers from Turing, the University of Oxford, and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), she will create tools and techniques enabling biologists to more easily integrate web-based data into their activities. This will involve building systems that allow scientists to use the plethora of web-based data without expertise in the resources that want to access. While making the use of data simpler, the tools that she will create will also make them run more efficiently, by giving scientists access to the power of large-scale infrastructure. • #TuringShortTalks
