Alberto Lerner

Bio and Interests

I am a Maître Assistant at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland at the eXascale Infolab. Previously, I spent some time in research groups at IBM Research (both at T.J. Watson and Almaden), and in the industry, at Google and MongoDB – and some start-ups. I got my Ph.D. in 2003 at Ecole Normale Superieure de Telecomunications at Paris (now Paris Tech) having done the research work connected to my Thesis both at INRIA/Rocquencourt and at New York University.

My research interests revolve around non-conventional database systems. I mean non-conventional in three different aspects.

• Exploring close couplings with hardware or software/hardware co-design geared toward performance.
• Extending data models beyond relational data (e.g., ordered data in general)
• Supporting increasingly larger data sets via distributed computing.
