Marianne Winslett, Vanessa P. Braganholo · ACM SIGMOD Record · 2020
Welcome to ACM SIGMOD Record's series of interviews with distinguished members of the database community. I'm Marianne Winslett, and today we are at the 2017 SIGMOD and PODS conference in Chicago. I have here with me Goetz Graefe, who is the recipient of the SIGMOD Innovations Award, the SIGMOD Test of Time Award, the ICDE Distinguished Paper Award, and the ACM Software System Award, all for his work on query processing. His Ph.D. is from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Goetz was an HP Fellow and he currently works for Google. So, Goetz, welcome!
