Introduction

I am a PhD student at the computer science department at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. My research is currently focused on column stores (for DSS workloads) and search engines. During the academic year 2008/2009 I was visiting the database group at Cornell University and was supervised by Johannes Gehrke.

I am interrested in programming and help arranging several contests at NTNU. The most important of these is NCPC, which is the nordic championship in programming. I have also helped organizing IDI Open. Feel free to join!
