Career

[edit]

Umberto Straccia studied Computer Science at the University of Pisa and obtained his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in Computer Science from the Technical University of Dortmund under supervision of Prof. Norbert Fuhr in 1999. [2] In 2001 he entered as Computer Scientist at CNR-ISTI, where he became Research Director in 2020.

He has more than 160 publications in his research area, [3] [4] including the book Foundations of Fuzzy Logic and Semantic Web Languages, [5] and is member of the editorial board of the Fuzzy Sets and Systems Journal (FSS). [6]

In 2024, he was listed in University of Stanford/Elsevier's Top 2% Scientist Career Ranking list, which identifies the most influential scientists worldwide based on their career-long citation impact. [7]
