Thomas Neumann (born 1977[1]) is a German computer scientist and full professor for Data Science and Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).[4]
Education and career
Thomas Neumann finished his studies in business informatics at the University of Mannheim in 2001[2] and received his doctor's degree in computer science under the supervision of Guido Moerkotte in 2005.[3] He then worked as a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrücken with Gerhard Weikum. During this time, Neumann developed RDF-3X,[5] a system for graph databases. He habilitated in 2010 at Saarland University.[1] In the same year, he joined the group for database systems at TUM under Alfons Kemper as associate professor.[1] In 2017, he became a full professor for Data Science and Engineering, also at TUM.[2]
Research
His research areas are query optimisation and efficient query processing by just-in-time compilation.[6] As part of this research, he developed the main memory database system HyPer, which was sold to Tableau Software in 2016,[7] and its successor system Umbra.[8] He was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize by the German Research Foundation for his work on HyPer.[2]
