In this talk I give an overview of my research interests in database systems spanning from data provenance, over building the next-generation high performance and distributed query engines, to supporting data science through transparency, data cleaning, and management of uncertainty in data.
Boris Glavic is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Illinois Institute of Technology where he leads the IIT database group. Before coming to IIT, Boris spend to two years as a PostDoc in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto working with Renée J. Miller. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Zurich in Switzerland being advised by Michael Böhlen and Gustavo Alonso. Boris is a database researcher conducting systems research based on solid theoretical foundations. His main research interests are provenance, data integration and cleaning, query processing and optimization, uncertainty management, and distributed databases.
