Peter Baumann is Professor of Computer Science at Jacobs University Bremen. He holds a PhD from Tech. Univ. Darmstadt. His research interest focuses on all aspects of scalable multi-dimensional array databases and their application in earth, space, and life sciences. Peter Baumann has pioneered array databases since 1991. He has authored and co-authored 100+ books, chapters, and papers on array databases and related fields. He has architected the rasdaman system which is today's only fully implemented and operationally used raster database worldwide. He holds international patents on array databases and has received a series of national and international innovation awards for his work. In the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standardization body he is chairing the raster-relevant working groups on raster services, and is editor of 8 adopted and 5+ candidate standards. The WCPS standard establishes OGC's multi-dimensional geo raster query language. Further, he is working on extending ISO SQL with scalable array capabilities.
