"blurb" : "My work melds ideas from compilers and query languages into databases to solve practical data management problems. The Mimir system developed by my group is among the most performant, practical systems for managing incomplete data; My work on just-in-time data structures represents an entirely novel way of thinking about data structure design and management; and I also have made numerous contributions to the area of incremental data processing. I have received several invitations to 'best-of' compilations for top database conferences, and my work has influenced the design of SQLite, the world's most wildely deployed database system." ,
