Research Interests and Expertise

My general research interests relate to (i) databases in general, (ii) databases for new, emerging applications, and (iii) extensible databases. My focus is on data modeling aspects as well as the design and implementation of data structures and algorithms in a database context. I am in particular engaged in the following areas:

• Spatial databases
• Crisp (i.e.,  determinate, sharply bounded) spatial objects in the two- and three-dimensional space
• Uncertain (i.e., indeterminate, vague, fuzzy) spatial objects
• Spatial relationships (e.g., topological relationships, directional relationships)
• Spatial reasoning
• Spatial partitions (subdivisions) and spatial graphs (networks) for maps in database systems
• Spatial information theory
• Spatiotemporal and moving objects databases
• Moving objects in the past and in the near future
• Spatiotemporal predicates
• Spatiotemporal partitions and spatiotemporal graphs in database systems
• Applied computational geometry
• Geometric data structures and algorithms for spatial objects in the two- and three-dimensional space as well as for moving objects
• Numerical robustness of geometric computation
• Parallel geometric algorithms
  
• Spatial and spatio-temporal data warehousing and OLAP
• Geoinformatics, geographical information systems
• Extensible databases
• Extensibility mechanisms for new, emerging applications
• Design and implementation of complex data types in a database context
• Complex object management in databases
