Research:

The lab is looking for graduate students starting in the 2025/2025 academic year interested in participating in the Sustainable Data Systems for Data Science program. You need to have a strong background in system's work (database systems, operating systems, distribute systems) with some research and/or development experience in this area. General knowledge in Machine Learning is an asset. If you are intersted, please email me with your CV.

My main focus lies in the design and development of distributed information systems. I am involved in several projects related to communication and information management such as supporting in-database analytics, performance monitoring in the cloud, and software design for micro-architecture. Detailed information can be found at the webpage of the Distributed Information Systems Group

How to live life?

Having lived in a couple of very different countries it took me some time to figure out which is the best way to live. I have been trying to combine Spanish "alegrķa" (zest for life) with American belief in freedom, and Swiss efficiency. Canada added the beauty of a multicultural society. And in my heart, I have always been German.
