Research Group Leader at MPI-SWS

Laurent
Bindschaedler

I lead the Data Systems Group (DSG) at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems.

I build next-generation systems for massive-scale data management and AI at the intersection of operating systems, databases, and machine learning.

My current focus is on analytics (graphs, blockchain, multi-modal) and AI systems beyond single models. We aim to overcome the limitations of existing systems to enable robust, adaptive, and efficient processing for complex workloads.
