BIOGRAPHY
|
Anastasia Ailamaki is a Professor of Computer Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. Her research interests are in database systems and applications, and in particular
(a) in strengthening the interaction between the database software and emerging hardware and I/O devices, and
(b) in automating database management to support computationally-demanding and demanding data-intensive scientific applications.
She has received a Finmeccanica endowed chair from the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon (2007), a European Young Investigator Award from the European Science Foundation (2007), an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2005), seven best-paper awards at top conferences (2001-2011), and an NSF CAREER award (2002). She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2000. She is a member of IEEE and ACM, and has also been a CRA-W mentor.

CURRENT WORK
|
|
Anastasia's research interests are in the broad area of database systems and applications, with emphasis on database system behavior on modern processor hardware and disks. Her projects aim at building systems to strengthen the interaction between the database software and the underlying hardware and I/O devices. She is also working on automated schema design and computational database support for scientific applications, as well as storage device modeling, performance prediction, and internet query caching.
