Matthew Perron
Database Systems Researcher
MIT CSAIL
Cambridge, MA
I am a PhD Student in the MIT Data Systems Group advised by Sam Madden. I am interested in making analytical databases much easier to use. Before MIT, I earned a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University where I worked with Andy Pavlo. I also worked as a software engineer at Softbank.
My current research interest is making analytical database systems better at responding to end users needs with minimal configuration. In particular, my recent work considers how best to use elastic pools of resources like AWS Lambda, responding to workload shifts while minimizing costs.
