Short Bio

Rodrigo Laigner is a fourth-year PhD fellow in the Department of Computer Science at University of Copenhagen under the supervision of Prof. Yongluan Zhou. Previously, has been co-advised by Marcos Antonio Vaz Salles.

His research targets building efficient and consistent data systems for data management requirements found in new approaches for distributed applications, such as actors and microservices.

Rodrigo has been working on the novel vision of Microservice-Oriented DBMS (MODB). A release of a prototype is expected in the upcoming weeks.

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.
