To achieve this, data systems play a fundamental role as key enablers and a core building block of several services and products. This talk will give a summary of the work carried out in this context by the Database Lab in Huawei’s Edinburgh RC, spanning different deployment environments and application domains, while also providing a list of research areas and open questions targeted by the lab’s work.

His research interests lie in the areas of distributed computing and (large-scale) data management systems, with a focus on issues pertaining to storage, indexing and query processing and optimization, in embedded databases, distributed data stores, multi-model databases, geo-distributed data management infrastructures, and joint at-rest/streaming data processing systems. He received his PhD from the University of Patras in 2008, is a member of the IEEE and the ACM, and a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy. Before joining Huawei, he held academic posts at the University of Glasgow and the University of Ioannina, and research fellow posts at the University of Glasgow and the University of Patras. He was a recipient of the ACM CIKM 2006 best paper award and the IEEE Big Data 2018 best student paper award, and has served in the Program Committees of multiple top-tier international conferences.

                                             <b>Abstract:</b> Snowflake Berlin will soon celebrate its sixth anniversary, marking a significant milestone in our evolution as Snowflake’s first engineering hub in Europe. In October 2018, Snowflake founders Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes established Snowflake Berlin together with two principal engineers, Max Heimel and Martin Hentschel, who relocated from the USA to anchor our third engineering site. Since then, Snowflake Berlin has experienced remarkable organic growth to over 100 employees and is integral to Snowflake’s continued success. Our modern office is situated in central Berlin at Potsdamer Platz. We not only work hard, but play hard! Come to our talk to learn more about the key initiatives from the Snowflake Berlin team.
