EDBT 2023 PhD Workshop
The newly established EDBT PhD Workshop is an opportunity for graduate students to present and discuss their research work at a premier international conference. The workshop provides a forum that facilitates interactions among PhD students and stimulates feedback from more experienced researchers. The corresponding call for papers can be found here:http://edbticdt2023.cs.uoi.gr/?contents=call_for_PhDWorkshop.html

by Boris Glavic
Abstract: Perhaps you just started your Ph.D. and are still trying to navigate the world of academia and find your thesis topic or you are a seasoned Ph.D. student about to gradate who wants feedback on your body of work. No matter where you are in your journey, it is easy to get stuck in the day-to-day life as a researcher, become a cog in the machine of academia and its publish-or-perish paradigm, and wander off the righteous path. Worry not! In this talk, we are going to take a step back and start from the fundamental question of "What is (CS) research?" and based on the answer to this question reflect on how we should go about the daily activities of a scientist such as literature research, selecting an interesting research problem to work on, experimental evaluation of hypotheses, formalization and theoretical analysis of a problem and solution, systems building, and communicating research ideas and findings (in written form of a publication or in form a presentation).
Boris Glavic (http://www.cs.iit.edu/~dbgroup/members/bglavic.html) is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Illinois Institute of Technology leading IIT's DBGroup. He received a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Zurich in Switzerland being advised by Gustavo Alonso and Michael Böhlen. Afterwards, he did spend two years as a PostDoc in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto working with Renée J. Miller. Boris is serving frequently on the program committee of SIGMOD, VLDB, and other database venue and is currently an Associate Editor for PVLDB and TKDE. His research spans several areas of database systems and data science including data provenance and explanations, data integration, query execution and optimization, uncertain data, and data curation. Boris strives to build systems that are based on solid theoretical foundations. His research is currently supported by NSF grants and gifts from Oracle's external research office.
