As a Ph.D. student at the Information Systems Group and member of the HPI Research School, my research interests are on data preparation and information extraction.

I am most active in the research projects of the Data Preparation group, currently focusing on benchmarking data loading and embedding the structure of tabular data files.

Feel free to contact me for collaboration, thesis proposals, or anything closely or loosely related to these research interests:

Research Interests

  • Structural Data Preparation
  • Data Pollution
  • Representation Learning
  • Layout Inference in multiregion files

Projects

My research projects are all named after famous painters:

  • Pollock: A benchmark for CSV data loading
  • MaGRiTTE: Learning structural embeddings of data files
  • Mondrian: An approach for automatic recognition of layout templates in multiregion files
