That paper discusses PostgresRAW, which can be found here; https://github.com/HBPMedical/PostgresRAW

I wonder if there are any similar projects using psql as an engine?

I think it's pretty common - it's open source, nice and modular codebase, reasonably advanced execution engine with stuff like MVCC. But also redshift itself, citus, hadapt and greenplum are examples that come to my mind.
