Victor Giannakouris

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Computer Science at Cornell. My research interests lie in the area of database management systems, including learned query optimization and distributed query engines. I am part of Cornell Database Group, advised by Immanuel Trummer. I hold an M.Sc. in Computing Systems from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (supervised by Yannis Ioannidis) and a B.Sc. from Ionian University (supervised by Dimitrios Tsoumakos).

Prior to Cornell, I was a Senior Software Engineer at TileDB. Furthermore, I have held engineering positions at Unravel, AISERA, BEAT (previously known as TaxiBEAT) and isMOOD. I have also spent two years as a Researcher at the Computing Systems Laboratory (CSLab) at the National and Technical University of Athens.

I am originally from, and grew up in Amarynthos, a coastal town in Evia (Εύβοια), Greece.
