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).
During the doctoral studies, his research targeted devising effective programming abstractions and efficient systems for emerging data-intensive applications. He published relevant articles about distributed data-intensive applications in the cloud.
In particular, he has worked on the novel vision of a Microservice-Oriented Database System (MODB). A technical report about the system is on arXiv.
He is now part of the Research Staff at Dynatrace Research, researching methods, algorithms, and architectures for scalable and consistent data management in observability. He currently serves on the SoCC 2026, VLDB 2027, and ICDE 2027 program committees, and will serve on the SIGMOD 2028 program committee.
