Thomas Neumann (born 1977[3]) is a German computer scientist and full professor for Data Science and Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).[4]

Key Information

Education and career

[edit]

Thomas Neumann finished his studies in business informatics, at the University of Mannheim in 2001.[1] He received his doctor's degree in computer science under the supervision of Guido Moerkotte, in 2005,[2] and 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]

Thomas Neumann (born 1977) is a German computer scientist and professor known for his pioneering contributions to database systems, particularly in the development of in-memory databases and efficient query processing techniques. [1] He currently holds the chair for database systems at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where he has served as a full professor since 2010. [2] Neumann studied business informatics at the University of Mannheim and earned his doctorate in computer science from the same institution in 2005. [1] He then worked as a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken before completing his habilitation at Saarland University in 2010. [2] His research has centered on query optimization, query compilation for modern hardware, graph-structured databases, and distributed query processing. [3] He is best known for developing the HyPer system, a hybrid in-memory database that innovatively supports both high-throughput transactional processing and complex analytical queries simultaneously, outperforming traditional systems in benchmarks and influencing the field profoundly. [2] This work led to the commercialization of HyPer through a spin-off company, which was later acquired by Tableau Software. [2] Neumann has also contributed to scalable RDF data management through systems like RDF-3X. [3] His achievements have been recognized with the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize in 2020 from the German Research Foundation, one of Germany's highest research honors, as well as the VLDB Early Career Research Contribution Award in 2014 and an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2016. [2] Neumann's innovations have had significant impact on both academic research and industrial applications in data management. [2]
