Benedikt Kämpgen

I work at AIFB as a research associate. Before that, I studied Computer Science at the University of Würzburg.

I am interested in concepts and technologies that allow efficient integration of heterogeneous data sources for decision support in business or science.

More specifically, my PhD topic is OLAP of Linked Data.

A list of publications can be found at at [1].
