Welcome

Welcome to the newly formed database systems research group at the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg. The group, led by Prof. Dr. Michael Gertz, conducts fundamental and cutting edge research in databases and information systems, scientific data management, data mining, database security, and information retrieval. Major current research topics include

• Geospatial and spatio-temporal data management
• Moving objects and object trajectories
• Integration of scientific data
• Processing and mining geospatial data streams
• Anomaly detection in databases
• Temporal information retrieval

The group offers several classes, seminars, and practicals at the introductory and advanced level. A complete list of courses can be found here.

Students interested in joining the group for a bachelor or master thesis or some interesting research project (introductory or advanced practical) can find some more information here.
