Biography
I am a Professor of Computing Science at Oxford University and a Fellow of St Anne's College.
I moved to Oxford from TU Vienna, Austria, in 2006, where I used to work since 1988 as a Professor of Computer Science. I currently still hold an Adjunct Professor position in Vienna, and you may look at my Vienna home page for additional information.
I have been helping to build up the Information Systems Group at Oxford University's Computing Laboratory. My current research deals with database theory, query languages, data exchange, and with graph-theoretic problem decomposition methods that can be used for recognizing large classes of tractable instances of hard problems. The latter methods have applications in query optimization, in constraint satisfaction, and in game theory and electronic commerce (e.g. winner determination in combinatorial auctions). I am a founding member of the recently established Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance.

Awards
Congratulations to Marta Kwiatkowska and Georg Gottlob on the award of European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Investigators Grants totalling approximately 4.4M euro over 5 years. Only 7 such grants in computer science have been awarded for the whole of Europe. Advanced grants are advertised as being "For exceptional research leaders only" so this is a wonderful endorsement of Marta's and Georg's distinction. Click here to view the ERC website.
