Fachgebiet

I am a professor for Data Engineering at the department Applications of Parallel and Distributed Systems of the University of Stuttgart. The overarching goal of my team's research is to automatically prepare, process, and analyze massive heterogeneous data for use in various real-life applications.

My department at the University of Stuttgart focuses on four main research areas: data transparency, complex data processing, data wrangling, and data exploration and analysis. We conduct both foundational and algorithmic research as well as system and application-oriented research.
