DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH AREA AND FOCUS
I am doing a research with Prof. Christian Thomsen on model-based compression of time series mainly generated at wind farms. This is some sort of very widespread big data that needs to be stored, retrieved and analyzed efficiently to maintain the target infrastructure operating without stoppages and prevent failures.
PROJECTS YOU ARE/WILL BE INVOLVED IN?
ModelarDB is the main project that I will be involved in. The main goal is to extend the system and make it compatible with a broader set of user requirements. So, my tasks are analyszing the efficiency of ModelarDB components and improving them further to propose better compression methods.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE YOUR CAREER AT AALBORG UNIVERSITY?
I have done my Master's degree at AAU Copenhagen and this was the main reason why I wanted to become the part of this big university again. The university's focus on research, its facilities, top quality academics, research excellence and renowned reputation among the world academia are some of the reasons why I wanted to continue my career here.
FUN AND OTHER FACTS?
Huge fan of Arsenal, loves playing futsal and many other sports activities. P.S. Some people really struggle to pronounce my name, so if you are one them, then just call me Abdu :)
