[18/10/2020] I will be serving as teaching assistant for the course Advanced Computer Systems next November. The course explores several aspects of distributed systems, database systems, and network systems.

[04/07/2020] I'm glad to announce that I am a recipient of the TALENT Fellowship Program, a doctoral programme co-funded by the European Union.

[19/05/2020] I'm glad to announce that I have a paper accepted at EuroMicro SEAA in the Cloud Native And Dev Ops (CNADO) Technical Track. The paper is named "From a Monolithic Big Data System to a Microservices Event-Driven Architecture" and the preprint version is available in ResearchGate.

Short Bio

Rodrigo Laigner is a first-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at University of Copenhagen .

He holds a Master's in Informatics from PUC-Rio (2020). It is noteworthy that the postgraduate program of the Department of Informatics is evaluated by the Brazilian Federal Agency for Postgraduate Education (CAPES) as being of international excellence (maximum score, 7). Rodrigo holds a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF), Brazil (2017), in cooperation with University of Colorado Denver (UCD), USA (2014-2015). The Information Systems major received the maximum grade in the annual test ENADE (Brazilian assessment test for higher-education) in 2015.

He is a research scholar in data management systems for Data Management Systems Group at University of Copenhagen since 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Yongluan Zhou and Prof. Dr. Marcos Antonio Vaz Salles which is part of the Software, Data, People & Society Research Section from the Department of Computer Science at University of Copenhagen. His main research interests are big data systems, data management systems, and software architecture. His researches are available in publications.

He has worked extensively in industry for projects in software engineering and data management systems, mostly related to event-driven architecture, microservices, web-based systems, optimization of access patterns of ORM source code, database migration, and tuning. Furthermore, has worked for research projects in software engineering, information systems, and data systems. Relevant venues have accepted his work for publication, such as the EuroMicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA), Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES), and Brazilian Symposium on Databases (SBBD). The last two are the main venues in software engineering and databases in Latin America, respectively. Rodrigo collaborates with researchers in Brazil, such as Dr. Marcos Kalinowski (PUC-Rio). He has received the third best paper award from the Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES 2019).
