About

I work at the Gray Systems Lab at Microsoft in Redmond, WA. Before joining Microsoft, I worked at Google in Jeff Naughton’s Data Infrastructure and Analysis team as well as Google Research’s Structured Data Group managed by Cong Yu. My research interests are in the broader field of database systems. Over the years, I have worked on topics in data integration, data management, data summarization, and performance analysis.

Prior to joining industry, I was a PhD student in the Systems Group at ETH Zurich. I defended in September ’16, my thesis was supervised by Donald Kossmann and is titled ‘Data Integration with Dynamic Data Sources’. I also hold Master’s degrees from both the Technical University of Munich and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
