Data Engineering & Cloud Systems

The Technical University of Munich is an internationally renowned center of excellence for database engineering and cloud systems. Its reputation is evidenced by numerous prestigious scientific awards and collaborations with leading industrial and academic partners. The group's strength lies in its systems-centered approach, which has led to the development of widely used data management systems such as HyPer and Umbra. HyPer was successfully commercialized and later acquired by Tableau/Salesforce. Its spiritual successor, Umbra, now serves as the foundation for research and teaching in high-performance data management at TUM. The group conducts cutting-edge research on various aspects of efficient, scalable, reliable, and secure systems software tailored for cloud environments.
