Current Work
Timo Bingmann is currently working as a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at eBay Inc in San José, California, USA.
Academic Education and Research
Before moving of the United States, Timo Bingmann was a PostDoc in Prof. Peter Sanders' Group at the Institute of Theoretical Informatics, Algorithmics, which is part of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He received a Dr. rer. nat. from KIT in 2018 for his dissertation on "Scalable String and Suffix Sorting". Previously, he received a Diploma degree in Computer Science (Dipl. Inform.) from the same university in 2010, and a second Diploma degree in Mathematics (Dipl. Math.) from the FernUniversity in Hagen in 2016.
His past research interests were:
- Engineering of basic algorithms and data structures for modern architectures.
This includes efficient parallel string sorting algorithms for shared memory systems, a cache-efficient main memory B+ tree with STL compatible interface, and extending the external memory algorithms library STXXL. - Large scale processing of "string" data.
Past work was focused on suffix sorting in external memory, while future projects will consider distributed processing of data on a cluster of nodes with external memory.
Beyond these academic research goals, he also regularly published high-quality open-source programs like The Sound of Sorting, malloc_count, pmbw, and many more. Most of his programs are available via GitHub
