Collaborators and Helpers


DAPHNE

Integrated Data Analysis Pipelines for Large-Scale Data Management, HPC and Machine Learning

The DAPHNE project aims to define and build an open and extensible system infrastructure for integrated data analysis pipelines, including data management and processing, high-performance computing (HPC), and machine learning (ML) training and scoring. The acronym DAPHNE relates to the title "integrated Data Analysis Pipelines for large-scale data management, High-performance computing, and machiNE learning". To develop a comprehensive framework, the project is organized in system architecture, hardware, scheduling, benchmarks, use cases, open source.

Sebastian Büttrich

DASYA Laboratory Manager at IT University of Copenhagen

Sebastian Sebastian holds a Ph.D. in physics from the Technical University of Berlin in Germany, with a focus on optics, radio spectroscopy, photovoltaic systems and scientific programming. He loves and plays music, is fascinated and engaged with text, language and poetry in many forms. He is responsible for managing the DASYA lab, coordinating tasks between researchers and the IT department, enabling experimental digital technology (from acquisition to maintenance), developing system and application, compiling and managing documentations, managing student programs. His focus ares include IoT, sensors, physical computing, (wireless) networks, IT and sustainable energy, and open and free software.
