Life edit

Moerkotte started studying computer science at the University of Dortmund in 1981[3] and finished his doctoral studies under the supervision of Peter Lockemann at the Universität Karlsruhe in 1990.[1] After positions as guest researcher at IBM and visiting researcher at Microsoft,[4] he joined the University of Aachen as associate professor in January 1994.[3] Since January 1996, he holds the chair of Practical Computer Science III as a full professor at the University of Mannheim.[5]

Research edit

With more than 200 publications including three books, Moerkotte's research focuses on database systems, especially query optimization.[2] In his early years, he conducted research on deductive databases[1] and together with Alfons Kemper he worked on object-oriented databases when he was employed in Karlsruhe.[6] Nowadays he is giving courses on query optimization[7] and working on query compilers.[8]
