| Meet the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Xiangyao Yu Professor of Computer Sciences |
 |
Research area Cloud-native databases, new hardware for databases, core DB techniques in transactions and analytics.
What excites you about your work?
“I work on databases—storing, managing and getting insights from data. Data is becoming a foundation of our society—the advancement of computer sciences is increasing driven by the expanding volume of data. This makes it an exciting time to work on database optimizations in various aspects.”
What do you hope to achieve?
“Research that has real adoption by industry, impacting the way people do things, that’s what I aim to achieve. We are working on GPU databases, related to a patent filed through WARF, to make data analysis a hundred times faster. We’re also working on making data analysis more private and efficient for bioinformatics.”
Prof. Yu’s innovations make data analysis more efficient, saving users both time and money, while helping them realize new insights from the growing amounts of data being produced. We look forward to seeing how Xiangyao’s research advances database technology.
