Pr. Peter Baumann, Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany

Dr. Peter Baumann is Professor of Computer Science, inventor, and entrepreneur. He received his PhD with "summa cum laude" from Technical University Darmstadt, Germany in 1993. At Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany he researches on flexible services for scalable multi-dimensional datacubes and their application in science and engineering. In this field he has published 150+ book chapters, journal, and conference articles and has internationally patented datacube technology.
With the rasdaman Array Database system, which is proven on Petabyte-scale spatio-temporal databases and across thousands of cloud nodes, he has pioneered the field of array databases and datacubes. For its successful commercialization he has founded and leads hitech spinoff, rasdaman GmbH. Rasdaman has received a series of international innovation awards, such as the 2018 NATO Defence Innovation Challenge Award.
