Education and career edit
Thomas Neumann finished his studies in business informatics at the University of Mannheim in 2001[1] and received his doctor's degree in computer science under the supervision of Guido Moerkotte in 2005.[2] 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.[3] In the same year, he joined the group for database systems at TUM under Alfons Kemper as associate professor.[3] In 2017, he became a full professor for Data Science and Engineering, also at TUM.[1]
Research edit
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.[1]
