Prof. Dr. Ulrich Meyer joined Goethe University Frankfurt as a full professor at the age of 35 in 2007. Since 2014 he is also the spokesperson of the DFG priority program “Algorithms for Big Data” (SPP 1736, www.big-data-spp.de) which spans more than 15 sites allover Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Saarland University in 2002. Subsequently he was a postdoc and eventually senior researcher (W2) at Max-Planck Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrücken.

Meyer's work focuses on the design and engineering of algorithms and
data structures for very large data sets, especially in the context of
parallelism (Shared-Memory, clusters, GPUs, ...), memory hierarchies
(caches, SSDs, hard disks, ...), and energy efficiency. The spectrum
ranges from theoretical worst-case results and average-case analyses to experimental evaluation of heuristics.
