Research Interests

Bio:
Wim Martens is professor for Data Intensive Algorithms at the University of Bayreuth. He is interested in foundational aspects of data management (with a current focus on graph databases and information extraction), logic, complexity, and formal language theory.
He was an invited speaker at STOC 2017 and PODS 2022 and his research received several awards (e.g., four ACM SIGMOD research highlight awards, an ICDT best paper and Test-of-Time award, and the Belgian dissertation award for computer science). 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 Transactions on Database Systems and Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, the advisory board of TheoretiCS. In the past, he chaired the ICDT Council and the SIGMOD Research Highlight Award committee.

Publications:

I am working on a book about principles of databases, which can also be found on Github. The book is supposed to be suitable for teaching, but errors will be unavoidable, especially in early versions. You can make comments and point out errors in Github.

A list of my publications can be found here or through our local server.
The slides for my tutorial at ESSLLI 2007 can be downloaded here.

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 1200+ 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.
