Research Interests and Bio

My research interests are in systems support for data management to enable efficient use of modern and future hardware. I work at the intersection of systems, data management, compilers and computer architecture. I believe that one needs to adopt a holistic approach in order to address the system's challenges imposed both by emerging computing platforms and by the need to efficiently process and analyze data collected at unprecedented rates.

Before joining TUM in 2020, I was a Lecturer in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. I got my PhD at ETH Zurich in 2017, where I was advised by Gustavo Alonso and Timothy Roscoe. I also held roles at Microsoft Research and Oracle Labs. For more details check my CV.
