Dr.-Ing. Tanja Auge

I am a PostDoc at the chair for Data Engineering at the University of Regensburg. Since October 2022 I am focusing on reconstructability/reproducibility and plausibility in the field of data engineering. For this, I am cooperating with researches from different fields at the University of Regensburg as well as international colleges from the US, Germany or Austria.

Before joining University of Regensburg, I was a PhD student at the University of Rostock advised by Andraes Heuer at the Data Research Group. My PhD thesis is available here. Prior to that, I studied Computer Science (M.Sc.) and Mathematics (M.Sc. and B.Sc.) at the University of Hamburg and the University of Rostock.

In my PhD thesis I combined the Chase -- a family of algorithms for database transformation -- with data provenance and additional annotations to compute an anonymized (minimal) sub-database of an original (research) database for a given evaluation query. To ensure the reproducibility, replicability or plausibility of a query result, the evaluations performed on the original database must also be feasible on the reconstructed sub-database. For this purpose I used a version of Chase&Backchase, an extension of Chase.


Research interests

My interests include a variety of subjects, such as

  • provenance, in particular data provenance
  • research data management
  • Chase algorithm
  • schema evolution
