Asst. Professor, TU Delft, & Amazon Scholar (AWS). Chair of the Data-intensive Systems Group.
I work in the broad area of scalable data management, and more specifically on data analytics, stream processing, Cloud computing, distributed transactions and data integration.
Before joining TU Delft, I spent a year with the SAP Innovation Center in Berlin, working on scalable architectures for machine learning inference and training. Before SAP, I was a postdoc at the database systems group in TU Berlin, headed by Volker Markl. I received my PhD from INRIA Saclay & Universite Paris-Sud in 2013, supervised by Ioana Manolescu. Prior to that, I was a member of the High Performance Computing systems Lab (HPCL), at the University of Cyprus, working with Marios Dikaiakos.
Building programming models and runtimes that bring ACID transactions to stateful serverless in the Cloud.
Designing fault-tolerant, high-throughput streaming systems that scale to billions of events per second.
Automating the discovery of datasets and their relationships in data lakes and enterprise repositories.
