David Justen Technische Universität Berlin Faculty IV - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Big Data Engineering Group (DAMS Lab) Room TEL-0812, Ernst-Reuter-Platz 7, 10587 Berlin david.justen@dams.tu-berlin.de

I am a second-year PhD student at Technische Universität Berlin, supervised by Prof. Matthias Boehm. Prior to this, I was a PhD student at Prof. Hasso Plattner’s Enterprise Platform and Integration Concepts (EPIC) chair at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam. My research focusses on query optimization for analytical database systems and cloud-based data processing. Specifically, I am looking into adaptive query processing and robust plan generation to reduce the effects of erroneous cardinality estimates.
