RESEARCH PROFILE
George Fletcher is Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and chair of the Database Group in the Data and Artificial Intelligence Cluster. His main area of study is data systems and he is particularly interested in query language design and engineering, foundations of databases, data analytics, and data science
He is currently investigating data engineering challenges in the management of massive graphs such as social networks, knowledge graphs, and biological networks, as well as foundations and engineering of graph query languages and graph data analytics.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
George received his PhD in computer science from Indiana University Bloomington, where he was a member of the IU Database Group. Before that, he received a bachelors degrees in mathematics and cognitive science from the University of North Florida. He is also a visiting Research Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London. He also worked as a visiting professor at INSA Lyon, the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, and the University of Lille.
