relational data to XML data using the available metadata with the
relational system and using XML schema for modeling the XML document
structure
His current research interest is in Database-supported
XML Processing. He focuses on the mappings between XML and
Relational Database. During his master's he worked on effective
publishing of relational data to XML document. His plan for the Ph.D.
