PhD Position: Database Systems (m/f/d), 100%

Join our interdisciplinary research network at the newly founded in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, and help found the Data Systems (DS) group. Work on trajectory database systems in close collaboration with the University of Konstanz and the HTWG Konstanz.

At the Data Systems group, we focus on data and database systems for real-world applications, handling large-scale trajectory and spatio-temporal data. Trajectory data track object movement, for example, of vehicles, people, or animals. Trajectory data raise research challenges in efficient storage, complex querying, noise/uncertainty, and privacy protection. Our research advances systems for trajectory data management, including foundational data models, expressive query operators, federated query processing, and trajectory-aware query optimization. We target applications like urban mobility (taxi trip planning), animal behavior research (, Movebank), and logistics (fleet movement data).
