Bio:
Wim Martens is a professor for Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Bayreuth. He is interested in theoretical aspects of data management, formal language theory, logic, and complexity.
He was an invited speaker at STOC 2017 and his research received several awards (e.g., two ACM SIGMOD research highlight awards, an ICDT best paper award, and the Belgian dissertation award). He acted as program committee member in major conferences in databases, the Web, theoretical computer science, and logic, such as SIGMOD, PODS, ICDE, ICDT, WWW, ICALP, STACS, and LICS. Currently, he is on the editorial board of ACM TODS and he is chairing the ICDT Council.

International students: Please do not contact me with questions about your eligibility or the requirements for our MSc in Computer Science. The criteria are explained here. (Yes, you need an IELTS or TOEFL certificate, even if your BSc education was in English. We have learned that an English BSc education does not necessarily bring sufficient English language skills.)
Since we receive 600+ applications per year, I cannot check your requirements by email before you apply in CampusOnline. Please forgive me if I do not reply to such emails.
