Postdoc

Postdoctoral Researcher

Mission Despite recent technological advances both in the data management and in computer architecture domains, our ability to analyze data still falls behind the unstoppable data collection rates. Data-intensive applications are increasingly more demanding in sophisticated algorithms to store, manage, and interpret data. To meet the challenges, database software needs to communicate efficiently both with the application layer and with the underlying hardware platforms, and deliver seamless computational and data management support. Research in the DIAS lab addresses both aspects of the…
