Short Bio

Rodrigo Laigner recently finished his PhD in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen under the supervision of Prof. Yongluan Zhou and Marcos Antonio Vaz Salles ('Til '22).

His research targets devising effective programming abstractions and efficient systems for emerging data-intensive applications. During his doctoral studies, he published relevant articles about distributed data-intensive applications in the cloud.

Rodrigo has been working on the novel vision of a Microservice-Oriented DBMS (MODB). A technical report about the system has been just released on arXiv.

If you are a student from the Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science and have an interest in pursuing a thesis in topics related to cloud and data systems, do not hesitate to contact me. The projects offered tend to be heavy on implementation, so proficiency in programming languages with concurrency facilities like Java, C, C++, Go, C# is expected.
