“Towards Foundation Database Models” won the CIDR 2025 best paper award

We are proud to share that our recent paper “LLMs for Data Engineering on Enterprise Data” has won the Best Short Paper award of the Tabular Data Analysis Workshop at VLDB'24. Whereas recent studies are optimistic about the use of LLMs for data engineering tasks, we show that LLMs still display severe limitations when faced with real-world usage scenarios like enterprise data.

Our alumnus Benjamin Hilprecht was awarded an Honourable Mention for the 2023 SIGMOD Jim Gray Doctoral Award for his Ph.D. thesis “Data-Efficient Learned Database Components”. The award recognizes excellent research by doctoral candidates in the database field.

We are proud to announce that our Tiemo Bang is one of the two recipients of this year's DBIS Dissertation Award for his work on robust in-memory DBMSs!
