Steffen Zeuch

Post-Doc at TU Berlin working with Prof. Volker Markl, IAM, and DIMA, as well as Junior Research Group Lead in BIFOLD.

Former Researcher at German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and former Ph.D. student of Prof. (emeritus) Johann-Christoph Freytag, Ph.D. in the DBIS group at Humboldt University zu Berlin.

Research Areas

Query processing, in-memory databases, index structures, distributed streaming systems, modern and heterogeneous hardware architectures, database and compiler interaction, performance optimization, IoT analytics, IoT for ML, ML for IoT.

Current Research Questions

  • How can streaming systems exploit the capabilities of modern hardware more efficiently?
  • How can we perform efficient data analytics on future IoT infrastructures, where we face a highly dynamic, volatile, heterogeneous, and geo-distributed execution environments?
  • How do we have to change concepts and algorithms in application domains like machine learning, data science, complex-event processing, transactional processing, signal processing, or privacy-preserving and secure processing to cope with the challenges of IoT and exploit their capabilities?
