Academic career

Baumann obtained a degree in Computer Science (1987) from Technical University of Munich, a doctorate (1993) in Computer Science at Darmstadt University of Technology while working with Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics.He has pursued post-doctoral activities in both industry and academia,working for Softlab Group in Munich (now Cirquent)and as Assistant Head of the Knowledge Bases Research Group of [http://www.forwiss.de/index_en.html FORWISS] (Bavarian Research Center for Knowledge-based Systems) / Technical University of Munich where he was deputy to Prof. Rudolph Bayer, Ph.D.Among Dr. Peter Baumann's entrepreneurial acitivites was founding of the spin-off company [http://www.rasdaman.com rasdaman GmbH] for commercialization of the world's first multi-dimensional array database system.In August 2004 he was appointed as Professor of Computer Science at Jacobs University Bremen (formerly: International University Bremen).

Awards and Patents

* [http://www.it-prize.org European IT Prize] 1998
* [http://www.jsmf.be Jos Schepens Memorial Award] 1998
* Innovation Prize of the Bavarian State Government 1998

Baumann holds international patents on array databases.

Research Interests

Baumann's current research interests include scalable database and Web service support for large, multi-dimensional arrays, including algebraic modeling, query language, query optimization, system architecture, and applications such as earth sciences and life sciences. As part of this research, standardization of geo raster services is being addressed. As such, it is related to Dimensional databases, however with a distinct focus on spatio-temporal, multi-dimensional raster graphics data, rather than business data.

Much of his concrete work is implemented and benchmarked in the framework of the rasdaman array DBMS.
